    That's an awesome deal! Just a heads up though for brides considering photo booths - while it is a lot of fun and you get some memorable pictures from it, from a pro photographer's perspective it can take away from the liveliness of the reception. I've been to a number of weddings with photo booths where half the guests were standing in line to get in the photobooth all night instead of dancing/otherwise interacting with other guests and the bride and groom. Definitely something to consider. I'm not against them, it just may have an effect on the number/variety of photos you get from your photographer.

    Photogbride -- you should lay off the "from a pro photographer's perspective" posts.  It's against TK's terms and you could be banned.   

    If people realize you're a pro in the wedding industry they may contact you regarding work, even if you're not actively advertising, and even if you're not taking new clients.  This could potentially steal business from TK's paid advertisers, so it's not allowed. This goes for anyone, not just you, although your username in conjunction with your posts makes it difficult to miss. 

    This is obviously not a warning or anything since I'm not a mod.  Just wanted to point it out.

    I think I help a lot of people and answer a lot of questions and give a lot of good advice to people here. I'm a bride and a photographer and I wear both hats (that's why my username is what it is, I'm not trying to hide it). I give advice when I see it would be helpful or pertinent to the discussion. I've never received a PM and don't ever say things like "oh I can help you edit your pictures!" or "PM me for my rates". I think it's really tacky. I'm just here to provide a different perspective as a bride and a photographer who's been to many many more weddings than probably anyone here has. Also, I'm not actively shooting weddings anymore.

    None of that matters.  It's against the terms that you agreed to when you signed up for this site.  Don't like the rules at the playground? You're allowed to take your ball and go home.
