Scout the location, talk to the bride, mother of the bride and mother of the groom. Get what they want in the way of photos. Go in with Confidence, take lots of pictures and you may luck out and get that perfect picture. Also talk to the church and hall people to take practice pictures of the area, with and without external flash. Do your best and that is what they get.
Thank you , That's what I am planing to do :)

Can anyone suggest a good flash bracket and a cord?
I went to Amazon and found out that there are too many to choose from.
Can anyone suggest a good flash bracket and a cord?
Thank you everyone for your valuable replys , I apreciate it , I am going to do it cuz as some of you said it has to start sometime somewhere sooner or later and I will charge but not too much plus the cost of printing as a start and probably have a meeting with the lady and her son/ daughter and make it clear to them what I can do and what do they want me to do and if they like it will keep going and if they don't (No harm done) espacially I'v done a lot of albums in the past for my friends and family (baby shower, small gatherings ,Birthdays, ...etc) and I never charged for anything and I am getting a feeling sometimes that people are taking advantge and we all know it is not just taking pictures also the time after the event with editting and spending hours on the computer and getting busy away from my husband and kids , I think now it is the time for me to start charging and there is nothing wrong with that.
If any one has any more suggestions please do.
Thanks again
very creative , Can u tell me how did u do the borders for the second and the third picture? Is it on photoshop CS5? I just have photoshop Elements can I do the same?
Thank you, But I am still new to Manual mode and sometimes I am having trouble shooting at night indoors espacially the party is going to be on january 7th and most likely NO outdoors photos which I love taking.
Hi everyone,
I am new here and I love taking pictures here and there and have fun with them my friends and family like my photos and they always wait on my albums posts on facebook, recently I had a phone call from a friend who wants me to be her son's wedding party(small celebration for her son) photos and told me she is going to pay me I was so faltered by her offer but I am really scared I have never done something like this before and tried to say NO but she insisted and kept on telling me how much she loves my pictuers and how much she always brag about me infront of her friends , I kept on telling her I have limited equipment (Cannon 60D with 18-135 mm , 50-250mm lenses and an external flash )and no experience except for having fun with taking pictuers for the past couple of years ,
What do u think ?
should I take the job?
How much should I charge her?
Am I qualified?
I don't know If I will do a good job espacially now i am getting paid for it.
Hello I am new and I have a Canon EOS 60D and 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6
Is this lens good for taking professional portraits ?
I heard about the 50mm with 1.8f do u think I need it or the one I have is enough?
