| My Brother has recently picked up photography as a spare time hobby/income, He didn't think he could make money at it til he started getting requests from friends and coworkers, Now he is looking and trying to find some studio lights, Just two for now a soft box light? and an Umbrella style light. Anyone know of any good sites he doesn't mind if they're used, As he doesn't have a huge budget so something reasonably priced would be perfect, Any tips Info opinions and experiences are welcome and appreciated,Sorry thinking about it now I might have helped if I would've mentioned I'm in the Charlotte area of North Carolina,US |

| I'm not sure where you're located but photography is one thing that a lot of people get into, either as an occupation or a hobby, and then realize that it's not for them so you might want to look into any on-line "used" type of classifieds.Also, some photography shops sell used equipment but I would look there as a last resort because even their resell is priced very high. Better to find someone who's been doing it on thier own and now wants to get rid of all their stuff to clear their basement. You're most likely going to get a much better deal with someone like that. |

| I wouldn't mess around with used photography gear. Amazon has as good of prices as anybody. http://astore.amazon.com/cappismyspacp-20You could pretty easily build a soft box on your own. Google DIY softboxes. Flashpoint makes a good affordable strobe.Good luck |

Everything About Your Wedding
Wedding Marketplace
Buy and sale all wedding related products.
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...
Wedding Music
Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
Wedding Photography
Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.
Wedding Favors
Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you...
Wedding Food
Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget.
Wedding Cake
Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition
Wedding Party
The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
