Thanks so much for all the feedback guys (and gals) .. I spoke to the client and disclosed that this would be my first wedding. Even though it's a very small affair (only 5 people in attendance!) .. it's still a wedding. I'm honored that they even contacted me since my portfolio doesn't show any wedding photography .. they just liked my style
I haven't heard from them so I'm guessing they went with somebody else which is totally fine by me. I figured they might have had a very small budget and that's why they contacted a newbie, etc. Anyway, I do know that wedding photography is a whole new ball game and I'm not ready for it at all .. I know this! I am going to work towards being a second shooter to even see if I can handle the stress or like the fast pace of working a wedding.

PS .. to all those that replied ... there are all kinds of different wedding photographers, .. the expensive, seasoned professional and the budding photographer who is less costly. There are all kinds of different weddings too .. high end and low end (casual BBQ), etc. For those of you pros that went to school .. shot weddings as a second shooter first, did all the reading, etc ... when it was actually your time to shoot your first wedding as the main shooter, did you tell them??
