|
|
| What are the rules/laws regarding when you do or don't have to get a model release? For example, if I'm out shooting pictures at the beach or of a downtown, are there rules/guidelines for when I would need a release to use the image of someone who happened to be on the beach or street?I am not a professional photographer and have no illusions that any pictures I take could or would ever be used for publication. However, I do put together ads for a local business from time to time and those ads could include pictures I take. |

| You can photograph people in most public areas. SOme places do have security concerns. To use the photos, for any commercial use, including advertising, you will need a release. Its generally easier to hire a model or 2 with signed releases, spend a couple hundred $$'s, get the exact shots you need and not just whats there, than it is to deal with the possibility of lawsuits. |

Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
