I have been doing things a bit backwards, always jumping in before starting at step one, so for Weddings I`d like to start with getting experience, however experience obviously won`t pay bills. On average of a 8 hour day I make about $76, so I was thinking of offering to be a second camera for weddings at $100 full day rate. Does this sound reasonable? Here is what I have to offer :
Canon XH-A1
6'5" max height tripod with Bogen 503 HDV head
Sennheiser g2 series lav X 1
ME-66 Shotgun mic w/boom (barely used in weddings i know)
Glidecam 2000
I have only done one wedding which was last minute with 0 planning, I think it came out ok for having to man 2 cameras and not know what was going on. Heres the 'trailer from it'.

Am I justified in asking for $100 for filming the whole day events (ceremony, banquet, etc) ? I have very limited free time to just do it for free, I do need the experience as well, but I need to make the most out of my time spent away from my job and other things I have going on in life, but the bills don`t go away on their own. Input would be helpful.
