    So my fiancé and I are getting married this Sunday night at Golden Gardens. We'll be married by a MyBallard Forum poster in a quick and intimate ceremony on the beach. I was thinking it would be nice to have a few pictures from it. I have an old canon 8 megapixel power shot camera which I'm sure will not do the setting justice (that is if the weather holds old for us, keep your fingers crossed!).

    I was wondering if anyone with a nicer camera, who lived close by and wouldn't mind a nice trip to watch the sunset on Sunday night would be willing to take some pictures of us during the ceremony. We're not looking for a wedding photographer just a kind soul who likes taking pictures and might be in the area.
    If you're interested we'd love to have you there and would compensate you with splendors from our garden [mint, oregano, cilantro, parsley, basil, and tomatoes-cherry and vine, you'll have to wait on the tomatoes though cause they're not ripe yet :) ].

    This will be the first of 3 weddings for us. This one is just the "lets make it legal now to make it easier for us later" one. It'll just be us, our two witnesses, and our wedding officiate and we're keeping that this ever even happen a secret cause our families on the east coast will be a little bummed that we did it without them here. We'll be giving our witnesses/friends the camera to take shots for us to have but I thought it would be a little nicer if we had a better camera to take the shots.

    So if you're equipped, local, and looking for some good karma/good homegrown herbs and tomatoes... I'd love to hear from you!!

  4. phoo takes some really fabulous photos. Not sure how mobile she is right now though. She's reachable via Ballard Peeps page on Facebook.

    Best of luck with your weddings... I've heard horror stories about families finding out after the fact that they attended a "fake" wedding. I hope it works out for you and don't forget to have official paperwork for your witnesses at the other weddings to sign! :-)

    I'd be happy to. How do I reach you?

    Edit: Whoops: I just saw I'd have to hand off my camera. It's not even paid for yet. I'm happy to take shots, but my camera can't leave me.

    Gina-I too would be happy to do it. I'm in the commercial photography program at Seattle Central currently, and what you're in need of would definitely be no problem. The only "problem" would be that my camera is expensive and complicated, and I wouldn't feel comfortable handing it off to someone who isn't a fellow photographer with knowledge on how to use it correctly.

    Oh wait, I'm not asking anyone to hand off their camera! I would never ask that! I know that camera's can be like babies. I'm saving up for a really nice Digital SLR myself. I'm asking if someone is willing to come WITH their cameras and take some pictures for me.

    Sorry about the confusion!! I'm definately not asking to use your camera, rather you AND your camera. :) hahaha

    Anyway, you can email me at ginacatalano (@) gmail . com

    Thank you so much GAM and acass206!! I'd love to hear from both of you! It'll be for just a short time this Sunday (August 8th) at 8:00 pm sharp. ( I say sharp cause our ceremony will be super short so if you're not there at 8 you might miss it completely). If that time is possible for either of you send me an email so we can talk details! This will really make this so much more special for us! It's truly a wonderful gift you'll be giving us!

    I emailed you yesterday but am suspecting I ended up in your spam folder. If you can't find it post here and I'll try again. I'm planning on it at any rate.

    Hey acass- do you see any irony in going to school for COMMERCIAL photography but taking jobs for FREE?

    Hey motor- Just because there's no monetary exchange involved and its being done for barter instead doesn't mean its "free". No offense, but worry about your own life, I don't need a babysitter.
