Huh!?!?  What!?!?  Me "lengthy"!?!?  ;)
MC> Thanks for the message to Kevin Morris, as it was very

MC> too.
You're welcome!  I'm glad you got something out of it!
MC> I have thought of getting into Wedding Videography
MC> also but have not yet taken the leap.  Do you have clients sign any MC> 
particular type of contract?
Yeah - to hold me harmless if my primary and back-up equipment fails.  I 
haven't had to take advantage of the contract, but it does give me a couple 
of weeks to do the dubs before I have to deliver them - usually I'm done 
within three days, though.

MC> the local brides/groom shops around town or is it better to
MC> advertise in
MC> the Newspaper, etc?
Mostly word of mouth.  Many photographers in town will refer people to you if 
you offer them a kickback on the clients they refer...I've found that 
advertising in the paper is okay, but the best source seems to be bridal 
fairs.  They're expensive to get display tables at, but each business 
participating gets a list of brides that registered to attend...and they're 
ALL looking for videographers...and some will pay what you're asking for 
professional results.  The approach is, "sure, Uncle Irving has a great new 
CamCorder...and he probably has a great instamatic, too, right?...but you 
wouldn't want to trust him to take your wedding pictures, would you?" ...And 
you know what?  It's the truth!
