have you assisted at weddings before this one?..
im looking at getting into wedding photography, but not 100% sure how to get into it,
ive done big events before, so im used to the crounds and stuff like that.
Don't make the mistake of charging next to nothing to get the job.
Too many people go into the photography industry charging next to nothing to keep busy, then go broke. (I think we've all heard of people doing $600 weddings and giving away a high res. disk)
You end up doing a disservice to not only yourself but everyone else in the industry trying to make a living.
Best to work out how much money you need to live the lifestyle you want and how much money you need to run your business then add a reasonable profit margin and set your prices accordingly.
Don't let people take advantage !!
