Damn, now my hat is too tight. I think I shall mention why "I" (and and I imagine some of the others) do not like doing weddings. I do not deal well with innuendos, slurs, insults, being yelled at, crying brides, angry mothers, nasty relatives, and the feeling that a riot is just about to erupt. If those kinds of things just bounce off you, you are reasonably organized, and you have basic picture making skills, there is no reason "you" should not do them.
If I did not have those problems, and I was a bit younger, I would probably go after some of that business myself. I think if one did it right he could make and easy twenty five grand a year as a weekend warrior type of photographer. Be available on fairly short notice, like a month or two. Limit your shooting time. Give them an album of your choice of photos and a CD of the rest to do with as they please. Charge a fair (not what the market will bear price). And there is no reason you can not be busy 1/2 the weekends of the year (one ought to reserve the rest for family, friends, and one's own sanity). It is certainly the easiest field of photography to get into, I turn down two-thee wedding requests a year and have not actually sought any photography work in years.
