Annoyed - Mini Vent

We're *finally* doing our e pics this Friday (you know, 12 days before our engagiversary and 86 days before the wedding :-P). I was super excited about shooting in Falls Park and downtown Greenville, only to have my photographer inform me that the city charges a $100 permit to shoot in Falls Park and it's about impossible to get one on a Friday or Saturday. What the what?!? If I hadn't already thought the city was a little out of control with the "we're kind of a big deal" attitude, this would definitely push me in that direction.

Wow that does seem a little crazy!

That is crazy.  I have never heard that before.  I have seen several people taking pics downtown.  I would call the city administrator to verify this info.  You are only taking pics.  You are not hosting an event.

There's a lot of places down here in Charleston that charge for photography to be done.. Boone Hall Plantation, Magional Plantation, etc etc

I've heard the $100 photography fee too.

I can understand places like plantations becuase (I assume?) they give some sort of tours and charge admission or something like that, or at least quasi-private places. Anyone can prance around Falls Park.

I don't think this is correct! Our FI and I had our e-session at Falls Park in all different areas and they only thing we were paying were our engagement fee to our photographer! And our session WAS ON A FRIDAY! You may want to check that out...plenty people photograph w/o Work permits.
