Question: Amateur photography for a friends wedding!!? !?
I already posted this once!. I want positive feedback because my friend doesn't want anyone else but me!. This is my FIRST wedding, and first real photo shoot!. I have told her this and she says she doesn't care!. She doesn't have $500 - $5000 to spend on a photographer!. She is 18 years old with two twins and a family to support!. Therefore, I just want to help her out!.
How much should I charge her!? Should I just charge her for film etc because I don't want any money out of this what so ever!?
And are there ANY tips for me!?
Trust me I've begged her not to let me do it because its such a special day for her but she insists that I do it!.
SO TIPS
POSITIVE CRITICISM IS APPRECIATED :) Www@QuestionHome@Com

as long as you have a digital SLR you should be good to go!. sounds like a small event!. If you don't have a digital SLR you can probably rent one for the weekend!.
Shoot shoot shoot!.!.!. If you have a digital camera you can try shooting in RAW mode !.preferrably in RAW+JPG mode!. RAW mode will let you fix most pictures, and if your not ready for it, an experienced photographer can work with RAW down the line!.
Good luck!.!.!. stay away from Film!Www@QuestionHome@Com
Don't charge for the film!. Work that into your price!. You need to be real clear about the fact that you are not a professional and as such won't get professional results!. If you shot 5 rolls of film charge her $150 especially if you are having the film processed for her!. You need to make a little bit of money!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
If you shoot RAW+JPEG take more than one card!. If you use flash, bounce it!. Do whatever the brides mother wants you to do!.!.!.!.then go home and have a drink!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
