I'm new... both to this forum and to advanced photography. Hate to ruffle any feathers, but this has been on my mind a lot in reading this forum. What is it that makes people think because they have a DSLR and have taken a few pictures that they are in any way qualified to try and capture what are some of the most important memories of two people's lives???
I just see sooo many people asking very elementary questions about a wedding they are about to get PAID for! I mean come on, what happened to knowing your limitations and doing things right? What happened to becoming an expert before you did it as a living. Are these same people watching Jim Cramer a few times and then offering to manage someone's portfolio? Are they watching TLC for a day then offering to make a wedding cake, or perform some sort of surgery?
I guess I just feel that if you have to ask basic question about a task, you are not qualified to charge for it... and in the case of a wedding (a one shot deal) you are also just not qualified to do it. My 2 pennies anyway
