Wedding Videographer Needed (Cypress,Texas)

PLEASE- Read ALL this before responding.

Because of a family medical emergency I cannot do this. I'll pay someone to go film a wedding and reception $185.00. It's going to be in Cypress,Tx on Sat Sept 19 at 7pm,you'd need to be there at 6:00. Wedding and reception same place.


If you are interested contact me. You need to have a fairly nice camera,if possible a wireless mic (but not required).

I need for you to film everything in order as the night progresses,so when you leave your job is done,you don't have to edit. I only ask that you put titles (the couples names and wedding date at beginning of video).


Film all the pre-wedding things by getting there an hour early-6:00-get interviews/well wishes later at reception from guests also and don't leave until the couple leaves at the end of the evening at 10pm. After it's been confirmed by the couple that you stayed until the end I will send you a money order for $185.00. Then you'll need to mail the couple 3 DVDs (after I have paid you). Thats it. If you do a good job I will have more for you in the future.


We are in a recession now. If you need $185.00 for one night of work this is the job for you. I will have more jobs in the future if you do a good job.


Please e-mail me if interested.


***PLEASE include your phone number,first and last name and home address,this is to confirm you are a real person and sincere.

If you cannot supply this info in the first e-mail to me do not reply,I respect this couple just starting out in life together and want to hire a dependable person,I owe this to them,not someone on Craigslist playing a joke on me and worse-the couple. Do NOT respond to this if you have not answered my questions,it will be a waste of your time.


Thank you,Duane

People can be clueless no matter what they're looking for.

I'm wondering what he's charging the wedding couple, and then sends someone who barely knows how to use their equipment, asks them to do some minor post editing, and then pay for the cost to mail the couple 3 DVD's?

I want it!

I would hate to be on the consumer end of that deal!

Makes you wonder what would happen if the couple saw this posting, huh?
