Super Cheap Wedding Photography Offer - Jacksonville & Destination Weddings!

I'm working on a brand new web site and I need a couple of kickass weddings for it!



Here's the (oh so sweet) deal! THIS OFFER IS EXTREMELY LIMITED and only couples planning a truly fun and untraditional wedding will be considered!!! Sounds like you? Read on!



If you are getting married SOON (between now and May), you are planning a unique, non-traditional, and otherwise awesome wedding, and you do not yet have a wedding photographer, let's talk! This is also a super deal for kickass couples on a tight budget. I will shoot your wedding day for a maximum of six hours and you'll get a CD of all your edited wedding day photos approximately 4-6 weeks after the event. You'll also get printing rights to all your photos. The cost? I'm simply charging a flat rate of $100 to cover the cost of making your CD and shipping it to you. I use UPS so it's slightly more expensive but worth it! Yeah, that doesn't quite add up to $100, but the leftover change is going to fund my web site (hey, these things aren't cheap! and did you see the preview yet?!), and I charge the current government rate for mileage to travel to your location(s) and back. Pretty simple huh! All you have to do is agree for your wedding day photos to be used on my website and in my marketing material!



TO BE CONSIDERED: Leave me a comment here, or send an email to taraphoto@gmail.com, and tell me:

::your wedding date/time
::your wedding location
::your reception location
::your wedding colors, or "theme" , if any
::number of guests invited
::what exactly is going to set YOUR wedding apart from the rest??
::be sure to attach a photo of the two of you to your email!

Only really badass couples not afraid of untypical wedding photography and planning something truly cool need apply!

Feel free to repost or forward if you think anyone you know might be interested!



(A little side info: I am located in St. Augustine, FL but will travel pretty much ANYWHERE for your wedding if you're willing to pay the current mileage rate within driving distance, or airfare outside of my area.)

Ginnie Springs, 9/20-9/21/08

I know I've been slacking! I've been super busy lately and I do have a lot to post and catch everyone up on. The camping crew got together this weekend at Ginnie Springs, out in High Springs, FL. The 2 hour drive was well worth it. We had tons of fun tubing down the Santa Fe river, exploring the woods and the springs, hanging out at the camp, and enjoying each other's company. The rain held off for the most part and the water was darker than usual in the river, but the springs were clear and blue like usual. I can't wait to go back again when the river clears up. My friend Jess even bought a snorkel mask with a built-in digital camera and digital video camera! I can't wait to see her photos and video of everyone jumping from the rope swings and out of the jumping tree! There was no way I was going to float down the river with the 30D so unfortunately I missed capturing those moments!

Jess, her husband Wes, and I went to Marineland today so she could try out her new 5D on something different. Wow, has it changed since we were kids! It's definitely a lot smaller now, and it's more geared specifically toward Atlantic bottlenose dolphin conservation and encounters with the dolphins where you can swim with them, work with the trainers for a day, or just feed and pet them. There are several different levels of programs you can participate in, but we chose the general $6 admission so we could get some shots of the dolphins and people in action. I knew Jess was going to steal my thunder with the 5D and her post about this (she deserves it right now, she's got the camera! ha) so I did do a few shots of the dolphins and people, but I also did a bunch of my signature, off-kilter, random oddity shots.

All in all it was a fun, cheap little trip (especially since it's not far from my house at all) and worth the $6 to catch an upclose glimpse of the dolphins. They are amazing up close and I could only imagine what it's like to be in the water with them. Definitely something I want to try!









This guy has a cool job!!!
