Help!?!? Small wedding crisis concerning photos!!!? |
Okay, so our photographer was in a major car accident... she'll be okay, but she has a broken leg... now I've got to find a new one, all of her contacts are booked.. how should I go about finding a new one, and in the rare chance that you're from Nashville, TN or the area do you have a contact? Check out http://www.theknot.com they have a list of area photographers. If no one is in your price range the other option is to have disposable cameras set up around the tables and have guests take candids of the reception. For the actual ceremony, you can (like the person above me) go to the local college and have one of the photography students commissioned into doing the photos for your wedding. Try to get a junior, senior or a student who has already earned their B.F.A.! Check out their resumes, see some of their other photographs and make sure they're not one of those crazy "abstract" artists and they're not going to be taking photographs of your ankles when you're kissing at the altar (or whereever...) what ever you do, dont hire a family member. trust me, it gets ruined. If you're really in a bind and absolutely cannot find a professional you should check with local colleges or universities to see if they have a photography school and try to recruit a student (or teacher) to fill in for you. Lot's of photo students would take part-time work or might know someone. I don't know of any in Nashville but you should be able to do much of the leg-work online and then make a few calls. I'm a professional photographer. Don't know what your budget is, but contact me if you want to talk about flying me in and putting me up somewhere! I know this will sound crazy but go with it. My cousin's photographer got arrested for some *ahem* photos he took a long time ago, so she was out of luck too. She went out and got TONS of disposable cameras and put them at the place settings so that everyone could take pictures and turn them in after the reception in a big box, That way you have photos from all over, and from everyone's point of view. Can't the photographer still take pictures with a broken leg? She could be on crutches or in a wheel chair, but still able to use a camera. Does she have any assistants that could help? A friend of mine is a professional wedding photographer who does destination weddings. Check out his site at www.m2photography.com. |
