Shooting my first wedding, that is. I recently ran into an old acquaintance. I had my camera with me (as I almost always do), and after some conversation, he and his partner ended up asking me to shoot their wedding. They know I'm an avid amateur and they know I've never shot a wedding before. They also know that they'll have to pay for this. I got an interesting e-mail from them, with the following:
"We are thinking of gathering in the mid-afternoon for some 'staged' shots - coming down the stairs, in the elevator, families, etc., and then you could just do candids through the evening. We would only really need the digital files from you - we'll figure out what we wanted printed and touch-up's, etc. A DVD/CD of the images would be fine." First of all (keeping in mind I've never done this sort of thing before), I'm thinking that I'd rather go through proofs with them and then process the ones they want and send them a cd of the processed shots - not just give them a cd of raw images for them to process. Second (and most importantly): What should I charge.
