Nottingham Wedding togs

[cableliquid]

I have been asked to photograph a wedding later this year for a friend, she has lost both her parents in the last year so can't afford a proffesional wedding tog so has gone for me (albeit a sport tog). She's been a family friend for a while so therefore have no quibbles about doing it for her, but because shes a friend and her losing her parents i want to do a bang up job for her. My request is can anyone - or does anyone know or anyone, who could offer me a few days work experience just shadowing them on a few weddings so i dont completely cock it up for her! Cheers guys!

Can't help directly, but Google for every photographer in the area who does weddings...perhaps even a little further afield (in case they see you more of a developing threat to their patch) and fire off nicely worded emails to them all

Just prepare yourself for the usual 'first wedding' grilling

It's usually more of a roasting actually and it's the stuffing you really have to worry about!

This isn't the usual '1st Wedding' request though is it - I think peeps will be gentle

What date is the Wedding? Is it anywhere nice?

If everyone runs around a lot very fast he'll be fine - lots of panning shots etc ;-)

what does that mean/!

 

[inaneredstripe]

look at the avatars. i dont bounce.
i think dave was hinting that me and he, come and watch you perform at "your" wedding.
diddy's sense of humour is even worse than mine.

 

[cableliquid]

ah that makes sense now! and yer feel free to come and mock me! I'll just make you take over if it goes pear shaped?

 

[DiddyDave]

Wasn't going to mock m8 - just wondered if I was free to come along and help out !!!

I have a 2nd tog/assistant in Dellipher, so there's no chance anyone else coming along to learn anything

Pity - but good luck anyway
