    You stated that he didn't sign the contract...if this is correct...there is no contract. You just handed him 1,500 dollars. Did you make a notation on the check...'Payment for photography"? If not that's a tough one.

    I'll bet there was a discussion on where to stand....lol. Great shot.

    For me it's my off camera lighting...but...getting to know the people and their personalities...and the area way before hand. I will always go to the church/venue weeks before at the time of day that i will be shooting just to come up with some ideas.
  17. Dave Gardner
    Sorry for your loss...

    We get the payment up-front...no exception. As someone has said a month in advance...to avoid bounced or stop payment checks. It will save you a lot of head aches.

    I think it's up to the individual....i will generally give 1,000-2,000 depending on the size of the wedding.

    I use strobes...some LED 'IceLight' and i have a light person who's job it is to move with the OCF. I used to use stands...but had one topple over years ago and that was that...i have a really cool monopole that the light person uses...works great.

    I only use manual when the action has slowed down....and i can take my time...other then that i use aperture.

    <p>I have to agree with Michael...using a assistant has so many benefits. The shoot moves quicker and your focus is on the subject. It's also better to travel light and fast...IMHO.</p> <p>Other than that...they do make stands that are harder to knock over...but you would need an assistant to carry them anyway.</p>

    <p>I love shooting on cloudy over cast days...the light is sooo soft. I would watch the focusing technique..on your second photo...also i would have offset the couple from the tree...the groom seems lost. If i want to include a lot of landscape i use a wide angle lens...this way the people aren't so small in the shot. Not sure the lens you used.</p> <p>On the site...some of the B&W shots are flat and need to pop more. You have a really good eye for candids and expressions. But some of the shots i would not have used...example...the kiss is great but the hug...his shoulder hides her face too much.</p> <p>Other then some editing...i think it went well.</p>

    <p>Shawn M...I love the smiles on the girls and the booths. I would have liked a bit more contrast in the bridge...still...well done.</p> <p>Nick D...I like the DOF...i think i would have liked the flower lit more..</p> <p>John P...the RR bridge i photograph on is no longer in use...and every year i get permission to photograph on it.</p>

    <p>LOL...David S. This was on a RR bridge...and the senior was terrified of heights. I was only able to grab one or two shots. Thank you for the advice though...it's always appreciated.</p> <p>William W....you hit the nail right on the head. It is something that...we as photographers...have to take into account. We are responsible for their well being.</p>
