I am super excited and super nervous!!!!!!!!! I have been asked to be the photographer at a friend's wedding in October! It will be my first wedding. Also, another friend who just did her first wedding a couple of weeks ago and is a fantastic photographer has offered to let me be a second shooter at a wedding she maybe doing in August so I can I practice.
I have been considering finally buying a dslr and have been eyeballing refurbished cameras. I now have a great reason to buy one!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow!! What an honor and a nice compliment to your talent~~ sounds like you are on the road to a successful new adventure.
That is awesome! I would definitely do the practice shoot, because weddings are really nerve wracking!
I just bought my DSLR last week SUPER GREAT DEAL on Amazon.com. The Canon Rebel Xsi is usually 799.00, Best Buy had it on sale for 749.00 plus tax, but Amazon has it for 679.00 no tax or shipping!! The refurbished Xti's were only $100-$150 less... So not worth it. So keep searching, you'll find a great deal and it's definitely a must if you're going to go pro. Good luck!!
You're such a talented photographer, Shannon! I'd have hired you for my wedding! You're going to rock it out!
Though I want something better than an XTi I really can't afford it.immom2anc wrote: I just bought my DSLR last week SUPER GREAT DEAL on Amazon.com.

I've seen some of your photos and you have nothing to be nervous about. You do great work.

Actually, from what I've been reading and heard from other photographers sometimes a refurbished one is better than a brand new one. Mainly because it's been used before and you know it works.GRACEpunches5 wrote: i remember that feeling. this will be my fourth summer doing wedding photography!!!!! i would buy a brand new camera, not a used one....

I'm not saying forget what you lost
I suppose there's a purpose in pain
What we make of ourselves has a cost
And it's paid every time we take hold of the reins
