I did wedding photography on the side to make a little extra money shortly after getting out of school in the 80's. I didn't do hundreds of them, but I certainly shot enough of them to vow never to do one again.
A friend of mine called me up about 6 months ago and asked if I would shoot video for a wedding he was going to be photographing for a friend, and I told him, no, I didn't really do that sort of thing. When he rephrased it by asking if I'd do it in Cancun Mexico, all expenses paid, I changed my mind.
I met with the couple tonight and the cool thing is that even though I'm familiar with the traditional sorts of wedding photography and video styles, they want something outside the box and different and gave me total creative control. I pitched them a bunch of ideas tonight and they really liked most of them. Now I'm actually looking forward to it because they're such a nice couple and really open to letting me do something fun for them.
