This is something i learned recently and i can't say that i'm thrilled about but thought that i should impart what wisdom i gained with the rest of you guys (all two of you that subscribe to me anyway)
While C and i were finalizing the location of where we're taking our engagement photos i started coming across "wedding photography permits" on the websites that i've been using for research and i thought "oh wow, 300$ to obtain a permit to take wedding photos doesn't sound so bad" until i started thinking... hmm... what would it cost to obtain the permit for engagement photos? in my mind...engagement photos would be less people involved with the photo shooting and of course way less intrusive...being that its meant to be casual and what not, it should be either less or FREE... boy have i ever been wrong!!! ladies nothing in this world is FREE.
after some inquiring i find out that not only do i need a permit to take photos at either old westbury gardens and / or brooklyn botanic gardens...it's actually the same fee for wedding photos...for some this may have been common knowledge... but to me i thought there was a bit of injustice going on here...i mean seriously... i'm already paying for admission into the gardens...and then i have to pay another 250-300 dollars for a photography permit that limits my time to 30-45 minutes? for my wedding day photos i'd be glad to shell it out.. but for an engagement/casual photo shoot? get out!!
but like everyone else i'm a slave to "i'm only getting married once" mentality and will inevitably shell out the $250 permit fee for my engagement photos on friday...let me also mention that it is a CASH ONLY, non refundable fee...i better not get mugged on my way there!
stay tuned for the actual permit obtaining recap next week!
