->> Did any of you actually dig down through the miles of bs to find the out where she springs the trap door? She is paying you $250 to shoot your wedding. YOU are paying her ........

"Other clients will fit into a category of between $1,00 and $3,500, usually choosing a coffee-table album, wall portraits and essential gift images. " (I think she may have meant 1,000 but obviously only pays to shoot weddings, not to have things proof read.)

So the front end and $250 is nothing more that window frills and given the ABSOLUTE BS that spews in every paragraph she would appear to me as more of a pitch-woman than anything else.

Look on the bright side, she's not is CA anymore. Not a new business model just the same old hokus pokus smoke and mirrors.

->> I'm with Eric. There's nothing I saw on the site about her providing images (either print or digital) to her clients. It's about the same as the computer companies bundling printers for free - because they damn near rape you to buy ink.

->> And apparently she will not photograph same-sex marriages.

"I photograph traditional weddings between a man and a woman..."

Seems like that's leaving money on the table if you're a wedding photographer.
