<p>I got a similar request a month or so ago and his request was for a traditional album... matted album. Like Sam Ellis mentioned try zookbinders they offer matted album. </p>

<p>dodging and burning?.. actions? like antique effect or something similar forgot what its called check kevin kubota actions, some sharpening... and like david w. mentioned direct flash and a lot of vignetting in ps or similar software.</p>

<p>+1 on Rob and other posts. If money is no issue, choose the one you like best... If you choose the other bride that found you online don't forget to thank the coordinator especially if you think the coordinator can bring you more future clients.</p>

<p>LOL. Anthony. I'm not a graphi user but from what I've read it is either hate them or love them. Some swear by them and have no problem at all especially the old clientele. Steve C. I've read about the pink line on a post from a different album company and i think they mentioned that those pink line was because of the kodak endura paper (some chemical on the paper reacts with the glue)...</p>

<p>sb800 was discontinued unless you can get a good deal then buy it. sb600 has less power but very nice flash. ive read some post about sb900 overheating and though i don't have one it is probably because of the abuse of the flash.</p>

<p>Have you actually seen the prints? I don't know your clients so by no means I'm judging their honesty...</p>

<p>if you are not thinking about getting into wedding photography buy the nikon 50 1.8 it is pretty cheap and it is good for low light... 70-300 is nto good for low light though I'm not sure about the vr version.<br>
goodluck!</p>

<p>backup body, flash...</p>

A second body with 17-55 would come very handy... If you don't know what ISO to use for the wedding, I would suggest that you go an learn them quickly. Flash will come in very handy so make sure you ask the church if they allow flash... Good luck!

Dave in the future it will help if you label your memory cards- in that way you limit mistakes... I know you mentioned no lecture. :-) This didn't happen to me yet but once I used an almost full mem card (shots from previous wedding) and although I'm positive I already backed it up I still didn't reformat the card because I have lots of extras...

Short video I think will be great for the slideshow dvd but I think that is the videographers job... It is surely nice to have though. I think it be cheaper to just buy a $300 video camera instead of the 5d mk2 like the guest suggest and have your second photographer capture some video... He probably didn't know you are a pro wedding photographer... :-)

can't beat the 17-55... a bit expensive but if you can afford it it goes with your d300...
-
70-200 f2.8, 50 f1.4... 85 1.4?
-
Try video? Or digital imaging. I sold a dvd under one of those category long time ago... workshops are for tickets, I believe.
-
I wouldn't let anyone borrow my camera (I only have 2 but it doesn't matter if I have 6 like David W), I would lend it to a friend but not someone I just met. I feel sorry for the couple but their photographer should have brought a backup body...
-
masters of wedding photography 1,2?.. bought many other dvds and books... Shoot, shoot, shoot... Be comfortable shooting manual and your flash...
MD let us know how you like the dvd...
-
Capture NX
in Nikon
version 2 is better. why don't you want to update your version 1? -
I've actually bought and read a lot of books. I've also purchased the one mentioned above and then some, for me the books I bought wasn't enough... It left me hanging but they were very useful though. Try searching on amazon they have a lot of wedding photography books that have reviews. FYI, I bought almost 10 books and some $$$ dvds. Also, I save lots of $$$ by borrowing from the library... They have bambi cantrell, understanding exposure, etc...

no problem when firing with sg 3ir though I haven't used it on the job because I just don't think it looks professional... perhaps a cord will work better or get the su800...
-
if you don't have a second body rent one then rent the 17-55 for your d300 and put your 80-200 on your second body d200?... I would also suggest renting another flash perhaps sb600? for backup. believe you me my sb800 have failed more than once but it is due to the batteries so make sure you bring plenty. bring lots of memory card, lots of batteries for your camera and the flash. goodluck!

I agree with William W on the payment. Give some time for the check to clear. Require to get the payment a week or days before you hand your photos in that way they can't cancel the check after they received it.
Since you mentioned that you agreed to give them the raw files, then I think you should.

This happened to me as well during a toast. Nikon called it Dead Battery Syndrome and yes they do have a firmware update for it. Also, may people suggest to clean the contacts of your lens and lens mount. I really don't know which one solve the problem but the problem is gone so either the firmware update or the cleaning. I'm just glad I don't have that issue anymore. Also, try putting a small cloth on the battery to push it up a bit some people said this solve the problem.... Goodluck!

I think Joe meant dial it down... so it only provides flash fill.
