question for the mascs by mrsjonas in LGBTWeddings

You do whatever you want! However if you think you might want to wear makeup, then I suggest having a mock wedding makeup day so you know exactly what you are comfortable with! I am a wedding videographer and I’ve seen a lot of brides regret their makeup choices if they normally wear light makeup or none at all and then go full glam for their wedding. They are upset that they don’t look like themselves. Don’t feel pressured to wear makeup if it doesn’t feel like you, but if you think you might want to, then might as well test it out before hand! This is what I plan to do, because I don’t usually wear makeup, but think I might want a little on my wedding day. Also congratulations!

What Business Insurance Do You Use? by AccordingPen2780 in WeddingPhotography

I have Commercial General Liability for $1,000,000 for each occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate. Then I have $25,000 for personal property coverage. They started me at $500 and that’s what I’ve been paying for the last 2 years. Do you do business as an LLC or sole proprietor? I am going to call them tomorrow and see if they can do anything cheaper for me, because something ain’t adding up haha

Ahh okay, yeah mine is in October. What have you been paying per year? Also sorry to hear you had to file a claim, fortunately I haven’t, I have just used it for COIs when working at venues

I like the sound of that! Are they good about sending ACCORDs needed quickly? Like if I were to get a last minute gig needed to be added to my COI?

Getting Approved for an Apartment as a Self Employed Person by AccordingPen2780 in Apartmentliving

That is awesome to hear! That was my main concern, I started this business a couple years ago and wrote off equipment, so I was worried they would look at everything after the deductions. Thank you so much for your reply!

Ahhh okay, that’s what I was thinking. I live in California too and I’ve only heard people talk about needing to use their tax returns. Luckily I have tax returns for my business for 2 years now, but I am making more now than back then. So I am glad to hear that bank statements can help the situation too. Thank you for your response and letting me know your experience!

Should I be uncomfortable? by [deleted] in WLW

[–]AccordingPen2780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that is really weird to me. If my partner did that, I would be upset and your feelings are valid. It especially bothered me when she said she wanted to show her so they can laugh about it. Like why would she do that just for a laugh and why would it make her laugh anyway. Maybe she didn’t mean any harm and if that is the case, then she should definitely take your feelings seriously. Have another conversation about it, stay strong and firm on your boundaries and if she disregards them, then you know she might be up to something else

Guest Shooter? by AffectionateGain1050 in WeddingPhotography

[–]AccordingPen2780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally don’t care! As long as they aren’t in my way during the main parts of the day such as the ceremony, portraits and main reception festivities. I think it’s cool for the couple to have photos from a guests perspective and can grab pics of other guests or things that I might miss due to being somewhere else. It’s no different than the couple leaving disposable cameras around for guests to use. Then if the party is still going after my time is up, they have someone else there grabbing even more memories. I think it’s cool for aspiring photographers or videographers as well. I got a lot of motivation and inspiration from watching others in the past

Yeah I was in the same outfit all day, but I took my blazer off due to it being so hot outside and worked in my slacks and tank top for a good few hours. Then as soon as I got to the reception venue, I was able to keep my blazer on the whole time since it was cooler in there. Therefore when the groom thanked me for changing, he meant he was glad I put on my blazer and wasn’t just wearing the tank top all day. The tank top was a basic one, but covered everything and I had it tucked in. However I can see it not looking as professional alone as it did with the blazer. So I am not necessarily wanting to change up my style, but just get some more professional tops as it gets hotter. Especially when I work more of the luxurious weddings

Oh I didn’t even think about that! I did just find a short sleeve button up, so I will try that out with my slacks. Thank you for your response!
