Yep, that's me. Full-time job plus videography on nights and weekends. We've only been in business for one full wedding season, so it's a bit early to call it slow, normal, or better than expected. We have two weddings booked in '09 at higher prices than we charged last year, so that's a fairly good sign. Most of our brides don't book until about a month or two before the wedding, so we'll see.

I work full time at a television station and shoot weddings on the weekend. I hope that one day the wedding business will enable me to quit the day job.

When i meet with clients they want to speak to the person shooting their wedding. At present i am building a studio in my backyard wife wont let me work out of a shop she thinks it's dead money so i figured within 3 years i would have payed of my studio and increased the value of the house. Once the studio is complete i will try to expand but till then i am working out of my house it really limits you. A basic wedding day for my is about 12 to 14 hours on average beginning from grooms,brides, ceremony, location, reception always to midnight. One thing i have noticed that is they like to send the photographer home at 9.30pm because they know the videographer will be their to capture the rest of the evening. so unfair. |

Living in a totally different company and market.
But things are good. 100 in the bag for 2009 so far (quota is 130). Of course 2009 bookings are because of 2007 and 2008 marketing efforts. I have to keep up so 2010 is just as good. Charging approx $2,500-$3,000 per wedding. |

The nice thing is that I'm not. There are are other videographers who book around 70++ annually here. And they do great work as well. (The Philippines is smaller than the state of California, and most jobs are in the capital - Manila). Market acceptance of video here is very high. Took a lot of work but we're finally there. |
