Hello John,

Thank you for replying in the forum. The wedding is not too far off...right now its coming down between Sept. 27 or October 4 of THIS year in Greenville, SC as I mentioned (a great town for photography...look up www.fallspark.com). The wedding ceremony and reception will hopefully take place at a little cottage over looking the park area ( see www.marysrestaurants.com ) As for a budget, and in looking at your investment pricing...I'm honestly afraid it may not be worth your time. Don't get me wrong your photos are excellent (especially the "inspirational" gallery)...but as you probably hear quite often from clients "We're on somewhat of a limited budget". In a nutshell, her dad owned a small furniture store. The store is no longer, so times are quite hard for them. They insist on doing a "small" wedding still which is really all we wanted to begin with. With photography being a wonderful hobby of mine....it's very important to me to capture the occasion as best I can. So, besides paying for the some of the wedding and honeymoon myself...I will also give some towards the photographer. Budget= 3,000ish.

Should someone come to mind, please pass them along. It would be a fairly easy wedding 4 or 5 hours tops...80 people...

Sorry, for rambling..it's late here now.

Thank you again.

Hey all, (yes I broke my promise to not come back... but I want to help this guy out).

I replied to a guy seeking a wedding photographer on the DPR forums.

He emailed the following:
I am already booked on both of those days. If I wasn't I would have entertained taking the gig since I would LOVE to shoot in SC.

Let me know if anyone here can help him out.
If you can help, send me a PM with your details.

Thanks guys. I miss you all.

It's Johnny! We miss you here!

John,

All I can say is "Ask and you shall receive...WOW!!!" I only have minute to respond (deadline on work stuff)...and will properly do so later, but you have given me an excellent list to start with. I am very excited to go through it.

The Budget I referred to was for the photographer...that would be the most probably (wedding coverage, CD, album, some prints maybe etc). Ideally, someone would be happy covering the wedding and then releasing perhaps an edited CD and an unedited Raw CD for me to play with in the future ( I can technically print everything myself...but I want to make it worthwhile for the photographer as best I can). This of course would be less than 3000.00 but I'm sure I'll meet someone in the middle. I hope I explained better this time.

Thank you again.
