It would appear some people are doing weddings in Wal-Mart but they don't have photographers yet.

If you'll read what is written about them, they are not part of Wal-Mart. In some stores they contract for the in store photography (baby pictures,etc). I see nothing which indicates they are any way part of Wal-Mart.

If you'll look at this google search, you will see several other companies contract for such services in Wal-Mart, not just GoPortraits.

I picked up a brochure from one of the goportrait inside walmart, seems someone else is doing it but they are offering walmart price starting at $500. I lost so much sleep over it, not :)
