HELLO FELISSA.
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR UPCOMING WEDDING HERE IN LOS CABOS.
I WOULD LOVE TO BE THE PERSON TO CAPTURE THIS SPECIAL DAY FOR YOU BOTH. AND ALTHOUGH I HAVE SEVERAL BOOKINGS FOR NEXT MAY,
THE 6 TH. IS AT THIS TIME OPEN.
MY WEB SITE IS MADE UP MAINLY OF RECENT WEDDINGS. YOU DID CLICK ON THE SLIDE SHOW RIGHT?
I SHOOT VERY GENEROUSLY AND GIVE YOU A DISC OF ALL WORK. YOU CAN MAKE PRINTS AND ENLARGEMENTS AND COPY THE DISC AS OFTEN AS YOU WISH. I.E. YOU HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OF THE FINAL IMAGES. FOR THIS I CHARGE $300.00 FOR THE FIRST HOUR AND $200.00 FOR EACH ADDITIONAL HOUR PLUS TAX. NO EXTRAS AND NO SURPRISES.
A 50 % DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED IN ORDER TO SECURE YOUR DATE AND ON RECEIPT OF YOUR REPLY I WILL GLADLY PASS ON MY BANKING INFORMATION TO FACILITATE THIS FOR YOU.
IF YOU NEED A VIDEOGRAPHER I CAN ARRANGE THAT FOR YOU TOO. THEY CHARGE THE SAME RATE AS I DO, WHICH IS A GOOD DEAL AS VIDEO REQUIRES A LOT OF EDITING TIME AND THIS IS INCLUDED IN THE 300/200 PRICING.
IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AT ANY TIME.
LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING OF SERVICE.
BEST WISHES AND LOVE T0 YOU BOTH.
PETER.

HI FELISSA.
THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY, BUT NOTHING IS AS EASY HERE AS IT IS UP NORTH.
FIRST I WOULD HAVE TO GET PERMISSION FROM A BRIDE TO SEND A COMPLETE DISC OF HER WEDDING, THEN I WOULD HAVE TO RETRIEVE FROM MY FILES AND THEN COPY SEVERAL HUNDRED IMAGES. ( THE WEDDING I DID LAST NIGHT WENT FOR SEVEN HOURS AND I SHOT 750 PHOTOS. ) THEN TAKE TO A LOCAL COURIER, THEN SEND IT ON TO YOU. IT COSTS ABOUT $30.00 TO SEND A DISC. NOT TO MENTION MY TIME.
I HAVE HAD OVER TWENTY WEDDINGS THIS MONTH AND STAYING ON TOP OF THOSE IS PARAMOUNT,
I RESPOND TO E MAILS, VISIT ALL MY HOTELS , WEDDING PLANNERS AND D.M.C.S AND LOOK AFTER VARIOUS OTHER ASPECTS OF BUSINESS, LIKE COLLECTING MONEY. A REAL CHALLENGE DOWN HERE.
ITS NOT THAT I WON'T DO WHAT YOU ASK, BUT REALLY WITH HUNDREDS OF EXAMPLES OF MY RECENT WORK ON THE WEB, I AM SURE YOU CAN ASSESS IF YOU LIKE MY WORK OR NOT. I KNOW YOU DO OR WE WOULDN'T BE COMMUNICATING. AND OF COURSE YOU ARE FREE TO CONTACT ANY OF MY BRIDES, ALL OF WHOM, I AM SURE, WILL TELL YOU THAT I AM EXPERIENCED, FLEXIBLE AND VERY ACCOMMODATING.
FELISSA, I AM THE MOST EXPERIENCED PHOTOGRAPHER IN THIS AREA AND KNOW THE WORK OF ALL MY COMPETITORS AS I HIRE THEM ALL FREQUENTLY FOR SITUATIONS WHERE I AM PERSONALLY BOOKED. NONE HAVE AS LARGE A SITE AS MINE, MANY DON'T HAVE A SITE AT ALL, SOME SPEAK LITTLE ENGLISH, SOME ONLY USE ONE CAMERA. I.E. HAVE NO BACK UP, AND MOST ARE STILL USING FILM AND GIVING YOU A LOT LESS IMAGES THAN DIGITAL PERMITS. SO THEY COULD NOT GIVE YOU WHAT YOU ASK EITHER.
I AM ON MY TENTH DIGITAL CAMERA AND WILL BE MOVING TO THE 16.7 MILLION PIXEL CANON MARK TWO IN THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO.I SHOOT GENEROUSLY, WORK WITH EVERY HOTEL AND WEDDING PLANNER IN THE AREA AND NEVER EVER HAVE HAD A COMPLAINT RE SERVICE, QUALITY OR PRICE.
PLEASE TRUST ME. I CAN AND WILL DO A GOOD JOB FOR YOU.
I HOPE WE WILL HAVE THE PLEASURE OF WORKING TOGETHER.
LOVE TO YOU BOTH.
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.
PETER.
Hi Peter,
I have a few more questions about the services you provide and your terms of work.My dad lives in Baja and can meet you to sign the contract and pay a deposit as soon as we work out the details.
O.K. GLAD TO ADDRESS THEM.
I saw in your last email (and on your website) that you sometimes have other photographers shoot the wedding when you're not available.
YES BUT AT THIS STAGE I AM AVAILABLE.
The reason my fiancé and I are so excited about the prospect of hiring you is that we love the work we've seen in your portfolio. We'd really only feel comfortable hiring you and signing a contract if it stipulated that you would be the photographer shooting our wedding. Is that possible; are you personally available on May 6, 2006?
I AM AVAILABLE AND ONCE YOU MAKE A DEPOSIT I AM YOURS.
- I also wanted to know at what point we need to set our wedding day schedule.
NO RUSH. THE IMPORTANT THING TO DO IS TO PIN DOWN THER DATE, THE DETAILS CAN BE WORKED OUT IN THE NEXT ELEBVEN MONTHS.
We're currently thinking of starting the ceremony at 6pm, but it's possible that we might need to change the time to 5:30pm or 6:30pm. When do we need to provide you with a firm start time?
NO RUSH. AND I AM VERY FLEXIBLE.
Also, what if we initially hire you for 3 hours and then decide at a later date, or even at the wedding, that we'd like you to stay for additional time. Is that an option?
IF YOU DECIDE ON MORE TIME EVEN ON THE DATE , THAT IS FINE. AS I SAID. I AM, VERY FLEXIBLE.
Will you have enough memory on your camera to accommodate for additional time?
I ALWAYS CARRY ABOUT THREE OR FOUR TIMES WHAT I WOULD NEED. PLEASE DO NOT CONCERN YOURSELF WITH THAT KIND OF DETAIL. I AM A PROFESSIONAL AND HAVE DONE OVER 500 WEDDINGS IN CABO.
WITH MY PRESENT CAPACITY, WHICH WILL PROBABLY INCREASE BEFORE WE MEET, I CAN TAKE OVER 5,000 IMAGES AT OVER 5 MILLION PIXELS OR AT THE HIGHEST RESOLUTION, WHICH IS ACTUALLY ALL I EVER USE , STILL OVER A THOUSAND. DON'T WORRY. I HAVE YOU COVERED.
- I know that you use a digital camera, shoot generously, and provide me with all of the images on disk a couple of days after my wedding. If I have specific images I know I'll want photographed at my wedding, may I provide you with a list of those shots?
CERTAINLY. I WILL WORK WITH YOUR LIST. I DO NOT WORK TO A LIST. THAT LIMITS SPONTENIETY, BUT I WANT TO CAPTURE EVERYTHING FOR YOU AND A LIST HELPS ENSURE THAT.
I just want to make sure I capture all of the events/people that are important to my fiancé, family and I. ;)
ABSOLUTELY. WE BOTH WANT THE SAME THING.
- You also mentioned in your email that you carry a back-up camera (so great!).
I CARRY TWO OF EVERYTHING. PLEASE, I AM A PRO. I WILL DO MY JOB AND YOU WILL LOVE THE RESULTS.
Do you also have an assistant with you
NEVER.I HAVE DONE WEDDINGS OF UP TO 200 PEOPLE AND NEVER FOUND AN ASSISTANT NECESSARY.
on the wedding day to hold lights (actually, that's another question, do you bring your own lighting?), carry the camera, etc?
I WORK WITH AVAILABLE LIGHT.
Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.
HAPPY TO DO SO.I HOPE MY ANSWERS PLEASE YOU.
As I'm sure you know a woman's wedding day is very important to her and I'm the type of person who likes to know all of the details up front so there aren't any surprises.
FELISSA, HAVE YOU SEEN MY WEB SITE? I HOPE SO AND I HOPE YOU LIKE IT. BUT PLEASE LEAVE THE DETAILS UP TO ME. I WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN.
ALTHOUGH MY CLIENT LIST READS LIKE SOMETHING FROM CORPORATE AMERICAS WHO'S WHO I HAVE NEVER USED A CONTRACT. MY WORD IS MY WORD! I HAVE PHOTOGRAPHED GEORGE BUSH, PRESIDENT FOX, JACK NICKLAS, WILLY NELSON, BRUCE JENNER, BUZZ ALDREN, SILVESTER STYLONE AND MANY OTHER CELEBRITIES AND I WORK WITH EVERY HOTEL IN CABO AND EVERY WEDDING PLANNER AND DESTINATION MANAGEMENT COMPANY. IF I DIDN'T DO MY JOB I WOULD NOT BE AS BUSY AS I AM.
LOOKING FORWARD TO PINNING DOWN THIS IMPORTANT DATE FOR YOU.
LOVE TO YOU BOTH.
PETER.
Hey Chris, here are two emails from this guy, some of the yahoo girls are using him or have used him. Let me know what you think. Me
Hi Felissa
I am re-building my web page, so in the mean time you can look at some
samples I have at pictage.
My services also include your photos for on-line buying as a plus to
my service, I am the only photographer in Cabo to offer it, this is
the place where you would see them at: www.pictage.com, and you can
locate me here in: "Find a Photographer" then in: "location" put
"Mexico" then just look for my name. You can find hundreds of
photos from 3 weddings that I have as samples.
Best regards
Juan Carlos
Hi Felissa
my rates are:
1st HOUR: $300 U.S.Dollars
EXTRA HOUR: $250 U.S.Dollars
And you get all of the pictures on a CD and you would also get
prints and depending on the package that would determine the amount of
prints you would get. For the first hour you would get 100 prints 4X6
and for the second hour you would get 40 prints 4X6, but for the
second hour I will also include 3 prints 8X12. as well as on-line
viewing of all your photos for your family and friends.
I would definitely recommend a minimum of two hours because there are
alot of things that I think need to be shot.
If you would want more hours, I could do a package price for you,
please let me know.
Best regards
