First of all, I will tell you this much…You get what you pay for, so make sure that someone you hire, no matter how expensive or how inexpensive they are, knows what they are doing. Ask them if they own their own Digital SLR camera and make sure that they know how to use Photoshop. (Preferably a later version of Photoshop like CS2 or CS3) I am a Photography student that is slowly earning my Photographic Imaging degree from Richland College. I haven’t ever done any weddings or any receptions before but I have been to quite a few to look on and observe how the other Photographers or Makeup Artists do their job and I have not only learned the appropriate ways to capture photographs at weddings and prior to weddings (the bride and groom’s solo shots) but I have gotten a lot of tips from friends of mine that have been in the industry for years. Depending on when the wedding reception is and where it is going to be held, I might be able to help you out along with my friend Pam who has been doing Photography as an art for a long time. She takes great photos and I do as well, we both have professional SLR Nikon cameras and I pride myself at being a whiz with Photoshop CS3 which I have owned for quite some time now and learned very well…So, we could send you some work and you can see what you think and then go from there OR I might be able to ask around to some other friends of mine that are wonderful Photographers as well…Just let me know and MAKE SURE YOU SEE SOME SAMPLES OF THEIR ORIGINAL WORK BEFORE YOU HIRE ANYONE! lol Hope that helped some, my name is Ashley. Have a great one!
