If you have a professional wedding photography business and are located in or near New York City, a friend of mine is looking to hire for his son's wedding this fall. The event will be held in the New York City vicinity. Please IM me and I'll connect you with the client.

Hi, Regardless of where in America, you want quality over 'experienced' in a once-in-a-lifetime pro to capture the wedding of your friend's son and new daughter-in-law. Look for the "book" of former recent weddings shot by this photog and/or his team. Doing stills and live video of the event requires a team. A solo photographer can't do everything in posed stills and live action video at the same time. If the photog. has a web site/pages, it might be easier for your search.

Remember that you need someone skilled in studio shots, event photos, posed groups and life action videos of the cake cutting/first dance/reception celebration/etc.

Get some idea of a budget. And be certain you then make it part of any discussion of the job as well as expected deliverables after the wedding.

Thank you for your response, Paul. I've passed your note on to my friend. Your words should provide an overarching frame of reference for him to refer to as he searches for a team to create the images to last a lifetime.
