Poor People Get Married, Too (Updated) - 07-18-2010, 09:30 AM


I've been contacted by someone who is getting married next May in Grand Prairie.. wedding is at the Ruthe Jackson Center and reception will be at the restored Uptown Theater on main street (beautiful old place.. cool place for a reception). RJC has an outdoor space designed for weddings, but I don't know if that's what they are using (its very pretty if they are).

She says they are paying for everything out of their own pocket... so their budget is small... They are hoping to find someone who can do engagements and the wedding for around $1200. I don't know what expectations she has for prints or albums out of that.

Let me know if you are interested...

Hey Brad - we may be willing to work with them and see if we can come up with a package that would work for both parties. Thanks for posting this & please let me know if you need more info from us!

Thanks!

Update....

She emailed me back and said they want "just a disc of all the images" for that price.... so take that under advisement when considering contacting them.

They are so far under my budget that its not worth my time to even try to educate them... but since they are friends with a good client, I will pass on their info.

PM me if you still want it... first three photographers will get her info.
