I got a wedding tomorrow im shooting pics for all day for about $150. , got the 20mm 1.7 , 14-140mm, 4 batteries, 4 sd cards 128gb,64gb,32gb and 16gb. also a benro monopod . only thing I think I would need is a battery grip and flash. I can make do with what I have tho. btw whats the price most photographers charge for a full day of wedding photos?

any other good advice? ive watched a few youtube videos so im pretty confident.:happy:
 
No such thing as "Standard pay".

If you are OK with the money you're getting then you should do it.
Some folks charge $5,000. Some only a couple hundred.

The only extra basic thing you might want is an on-flash diffusor so that the flash-photography doesn't look so awful.
 
As far as top rates go, I recently worked with a photographer who once made $250,000 for a single client. He charges something like $5,000 per photo album, and the family wanted to order ~50 albums to give to all their friends.

It sounds like you're working for less than the rental price of your gear, which should already tell you that your rate is far too low. But if you're just getting started, that's how it goes.
 
yeah ive done a few weddings and other events video/photo and I got the idea and got paid and all that its just easier with 2 people one and end of the isle ect to get the front and back shots of them goin down the isle, I dont want to stress my self out and all that since it my first time as a single photographer and have to command people around for about an hour or so an get them to look good and have the whole wedding vibe goin on ect. I just hope they arnt expecting the most amazing work ever, How ever I will do my best and take as many photos as I can. jus curious I should be able to take the whole wedding photos on one 128gb sd card right? jus wondering I have others too.
 
A reflector? A second body? Comfortable shoes, business cards, snacks, water, and an all day big friendly smile!

Good luck!
 
seemd to go very well I think. ill post some of the best shots on here for you guys to see. they seemed very happy at the end, and also was a short wedding.

Expose and white balance for faces. The cake cutting is underexposed. Also, drop the contrast and up the exposure on the group shots, it's doing no favors to the wedding parties faces.

For examples this photo: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jasonlindquist/20770836375

-Raise exposure on the group (it does not matter if the back blows out, the faces are the important thing)
-Adjust the white balance and make it warmer
