Houston/ Katy, TX: Cheap wedding photog wanted - Feb. 19, 2011 - 01-22-2011, 10:18 PM


Someone referred someone to me for a wedding and I sent them my price list, but I'm out of their budget.
I do not know them but did say I would try to help them find someone in their budget range.
Budget: $700 Max.
Time: Wedding starts at 5:30, Reception starts at 7:30. They want someone there until at least 10:30. So minimum 5.5-6 hours of actual shooting time. (yeah, I know)
Ceremony Location: Kieth Harrow Blvd. near Barker Cypress.

Send me links if you're interested, I'll forward them to the couple.
Thanks.

Sam,
$700 is extremely low. Is this strictly just candid shots of the ceremony and reception?

I have no idea. And yeah, $700 is cheap, hence the title, and the reason I'm passing it on. I tried to get them to budge but they won't. I'm going to assume they'd like actual wedding coverage and not just candids. When I offered fewer hours, they said they "need someone there until at least 10:30".
I'm passing on all PM'd links to the couple and they can work it out from there.

Since you're helping them out, can I have their contact to see if I can work a deal with them? I have two rookies I want to gain some experience..so this might be perfect for both parties.

Just throwing this out, Ill come out and do a few formals bride/groom, and party, then candids of the wedding, and recp. Burn them to CD and hand it over to them to have. They can then have photos printed where ever they want.

I'll pass all referrals on to the B&G. You can take it from there. I don't know them.
