God I hope I know what Im doing posting this on here! Just mention the word Wedding and Booooom - all hell breaks lose and shares in Popcorn companies skyrocket. DFS sell more sofas and off licences all over the country are 20% up on sales!
Ah well here goes - My son is getting married in September in the Lake District. Its just a small civil ceremony (bride will be in full wedding attire) with 12 adults and 4 children. We are also hoping for a 50s American Car to be used (see below). The main reception will be held back in Milton Keynes (dont need tog for this)
Is there any member living within easy reach who would be prepared for reasonable expenses only to assist with the photography for 2/4 hours, who is proficient and has assisted before at a wedding or two recently, who wants to build on their portfolio. I think its fair to ask for the full copyright of the images for myself but Im sure more experienced people on here will correct me if Im wrong.
I was planning to try and shoot the majority of the pictures of the b&g myself but will obviously struggle with the ceremony/group shots! ! (Im no good at pshopping). My own wedding photography experience is 2 as main tog 3 as assistant and a one day BIPP wedding course! (I guess that makes me a pro then waits for big bang)
As previously mentioned it is only a short civil ceremony on Thursday 24th September 2009 at 15.00 at Langdale Hotel http://www.langdale.co.uk/weddings/index.htm (hopefully outside weather permitting) Looks like plenty of good photo locations on the Langdale Estate.
Also does anyone know of a hire company or owner who has a 1950s American Classic i.e. Chevy Bel Air etc., for hire for the afternoon in that neck of the woods. My future daughter in law is a 50s fanatic and my wife and I are hoping to arrange this as a surprise. At the moment her dads taking her to the ceremony in his people carrier!!
If anyone would like either PM me or respond in open forum to discuss further please do.
