Hi,
A couple of weeks ago I was approached by two people if it'd consider shooting their weddings. One was a woman & she also wondered if I take budoir shots. Gave her a price for budoir & the 8hrs wedding. She wasn't easy to talk to on the phone, we didn't click & she turned my offer down as well.

The guy though, we clicked & we've even negotiated the price (I admit to being cheap as hell & probably breaking all business rules). Never spoken to the bride, only the groom. She put him in charge of the photography as he does photography as a hobby.

Next week he'll give me the final answer, but it's looking positive. If I do get the job I can start to worry about the technical details; i.e. how the heck do I meter when the groom's really dark skinned, what do I do if it rains & what type of shots can I take on a beach...

This will be interesting...LOL I'm happy I live in a country where I can't get sued.

Oh, and how common is it that it's the groom approaching? Curious.
