<blockquote> <p>"It's even less appealing to spend 10-12 hours on my feet in a day chasing bridesmaids and groomsmen around churches and hotels while carrying two 7-9 lb camera rigs. It's a job for younger people than I..."</p> <p>I've been at <em>it</em> for over 30 years -- Photographing was only job. Way too many weddings and "backdrop-setups" at Corporate events... through the decades. <br /> But I carry one camera/one lens for a 4 hour day these days... and offer the card right from my camera if need be. Trying to retire. But I still get the occasional call .</p> <p>Narrowed it down to second marriages only and max 30 guest. Really don't like post work ( unless I get paid by the hour ) Shoot full RAW and LRG Jpeg = give them the card -- if they want manipulations - return the card with $$ for CS work. Perfect wedding to me ;-)</p> <p>Let the younger ones learn their craft and toil ..... Our B&G are all "destination" weddings --- never meet with them before or after //\\</p> </blockquote>

<p>I for one welcome the sell of only RAW images ---- When film was leaving the market > I use to shoot weddings & hand the <em>un</em>processed rolls at the end of the event. If the B&G are really on a budget - it works for me. Hand them the cards right from my camera ... hope they have some skill in CS with the images.</p>
