pranix:

are you by any chance the exact replica or have a very very striking resemblance of the following: ?
> Robert Downey Jr.
> Brad Pitt
> John Lloyd Cruz
> Aga Muhlach (yeah, yeah.. my last two choices are not that great but hey, let me fantasize)

coz if you are, then definitely, I would be on top of the list to sign up for your offer.

but if not, dude...i haven't met any talented wedding photographers or newbies for that matter, who are desperate for free food at the reception.

P.S. i don't think your wife-to-be would be too thrilled with this idea though. kindly ask her daw. hehehe..

If you are a newbie and would hope to learn or get some experience, then you should take this offer. It is not about getting a free meal or spending out some extra bucks. It is all about learning, getting some experience and hopefully getting some referrals.

I shot my very first wedding with no cost at all to the couple, just a free meal. I even spent around $200 for the wedding.. but the greatest things they gave in return.. was they were so happy with the photos... and gave me 4 weddings by referrals.. all couples took my basic wedding package + wedding proof DVD (no albums.. just proofs) valued at $3000.

Joe Buissink, one of the best wedding photographer in the world started the same way I did and so as every known wedding photographers here in the US.

And you don't choose whom to shoot.

Good it works for you.


I hope that every wedding in the u.s will be like this and every couple will ask for a newbie photographer in return newbie ones will learn their trade.

i guess this would only work if you were the only one contacted the couple... pero naa man sila "official" photographer... diba murag unethical man kaayo to get clients from that wedding?(if ever naa potential client nga mangutana nimo)...

Ian, this is really valid if you are the only one asked. I don't think Joe Buissink gave out his portfolio for free food so that he can be chosen among many others so that they can shoot for free! If pranix is a celebrity and has opened this up to his fiance and his photographer, I would totally understand this setup. But then, maybe, i misinterpreted the facts here.
Yes, this is a very good opportunity but naman, some implications should be considered. his wife-to-be doesn't even know. from a female point of view, i would be pissed off that I would be photographed by some people I don't know. I would be much more confident to hire a photographer that I know, that I trust and that I am comfortable with.
Moreover, if I am a newbie and I am sidestepping the main photographer, I don't want my learning experience in wedding photography to start that way.
