I wasn't originally going to make a thread, because I know how split these things become, but here it goes!
A VERY GOOD friend of a VERY GOOD friend, is getting married in June. I am not exactly sure yet if photography just isn't a priority for them, or if they cant afford a professional. Whatever the reason, from what I understand, its down to me or their local craigslist.
Obviously, weather or not I accept I will need to call the bride and have a conversation with her. I plan to stress the value of hiring a professional and ensure she understands the many limitations that come with trusting me with their photos. However, I am trying to decide if, after this conversation she is still set on forgoing a professional- I should go forth.
Our mutual friend has a crop sensor canon with 2 lens's that I am free to borrow and use as a second body for the day. I know I would really need to invest in some sort of TTL flash, since I am not sure I would be comfortable using my M flash in the fast moving situations of a wedding. I think I would try to talk them into doing bride/groom shots the evening before to ensure we had enough time to work.
Are there other things I should consider when making such a big decision?
Are there any questions I should make sure to ask her BEFORE I decide yes or not? Should I just run away now?
