Need a Main Photog (on budget in Houston) - Jan 2nd - 10-22-2009, 04:08 AM


I've had a request from a friend to photograph her wedding, but I'm going to be out of town that weekend. I told her I may be able to send her some recommendations, so I figured I'd tap into the selection here :)


Based on what she's said before, she's essentially looking for a 4 hour coverage (estimate) and a DVD of the images with printing rights. I believe she's hoping to stay under $1000. If you're interested, shoot me a PM!

Also - if you're a pain to deal with don't bother. That sounds really weird and harsh to say, but since I'm recommending someone else to a friend I want to make sure to send people that are amiable and not just looking to snag some cash.

The wedding is January 2nd, 2010 in the Houstonish Area (never got to the actual location with her).

Thankya :)

good luck................
why don't you do it, since you know her and it can be a wedding gift from you?
do let her know that she gets what she pays for, that's the way it works..........

do you have any details other than the date?

At this point, as slow as biz is, I would do it if they paid my travel to Houston. Right now, my potential brides can't even afford my sale prices. I had a bride in Houston that really wanted me for a 4 hr wedding, but she had a tight budget and had to go with someone that was only $1000. At least she said that she will recommend me to all of her friends. Ugh! I'm kinda freaking out right now! And, I am getting inquiries, but they are all for dates that I am booked...figures!

Uh...as mentioned before, I'm going to be out of town. In Atlanta, actually.

And no, she hasn't given me any more info yet.

Hold out Leslie. You are worth 3 times the price. Things pick up at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. You'll get them.
