#2 I use a program called toast to burn with... I burn a lot so it was worth it. you may want to check burning a disk with Iphoto.. it may have more options.

Yup, I will work just as hard wether the wedding is here in San Diego as I would if your wedding is in Hawaii or Rivera Maya. I totally get offering discounts, I even gave a wedding away for Valentines Day just for the heck of it... For the more experienced photog in general, not a good chance of getting the discount.. they would almost rather stay home with the family or just not have to travel, they probably would book the date anyways... Now where some of you might find a discount is the off season.. well here in San Diego there isn't really an off wedding season due to the weather being great year round, but if your photog lives in Boston, ha! not too many weddings in Boston Jan - March...

blogging is cool!

I would talk to them about it.... if they don't budge then look else where. there are tons of photogs competing for your wedding! you just don't know it!

I expect you to be my 2nd photographer for at least one wedding next year!!!

But them I thought: will he know the best spots for pics? Or it doesnt make a difference... Thanks for any help It depends how important photography is to you?

I heart Maui x 10 My wife and I have been there 3 times in the 5yrs that we have been married and Ohau 2x... we love the islands. good luck on your planning, Im sure your wedding will be amazing!

I would want JM to do my dude-oir... lol

but you make a great point... Im pooped! ready for next month where I only have 3.

I updated to v2.0 last night at 11pm PST and everything went just fine... but I do agree that apple dropped the ball in a big way! what were they thinking releasing v2.0, itunes 7.7 and bringing the 3g iphone to market all on the same day? a sixth grader could have seen that one coming...

Quote: Originally Posted by Kristie Ottinger well, if you look at a lot of the experienced photogs out there, they mention that they only take 4 weddings a month on their site for this reason, no matter where they are from. even though ive quoted brides for this situation (on the high side so i didnt book them), i dont think its very smart to go with over 2 in one week. anymore DW weddings in one week, i think is asking for burn out. im sorry if i read your thread wrong, i thought you were shooting for 4 weddings in one week. ive shot around 100 in 3 years so i know rushed...thats why the warning. you are probably just one of those with supernatural powers:) just kidding, i know its possible to do this but i just wanted to mention it because its a popular thing to try to do on the forum but in my opinion could end up with an unhappy bride. just another thing a bride may want to consider, especially if she is the 3rd or 4th wedding of the week for one photog. your work is beautiful, im sure youve got it under control, sorry for butting in. I guess I have super natural powers then cause I shot 5 last month, and 9 this month.. don't worry, Im taking next month easy...

wowwza! thats very unique... and perfectly you guys too!

great idea. Make him choose if he wants to shoot it or be in it, cause it would be really hard to do both...

I shot a ttd/day after session there, back in Jan. The grounds were very well kept and the staff were very nice to us. ~nic
