Kelly - I'd enter your contest, but I don't think I can handle the travel expenses for you and your "assistant" out to the left coast.

Still - I love your work, and have enjoyed watching your enterprise (and your art) mature

Quick question--is it okay for family/guests at the wedding to take pictures (if they're not real photographers or professionals), or must there be no other photography at all?

Friends, family, and guests taking pictures are fine, with a note to the following: I limit picture-taking during formal portraits because I need to have all eyes on my camera (you should see some of the funny shots we've gotten when everyone is looking at a hundred different cameras!). My main concern is avoiding the five photographers diving in front of me to get the photos my clients have asked me to take. I had this happen at one wedding, and I was unable to gain access to the bride and groom to get the shots they had *asked* me for because they had five or six "friends" who they had also asked to photograph their wedding. Because of this, we added a clause to our contract to add a fee for "substantial interference" with the photographer's work, which can cover undisclosed lighting issues (ie- you didn't tell me you were having a candlelight wedding and I wouldn't have taken your wedding if I'd known) and relatives who are bossing the photographer around over the bride/groom's explanation of their wishes.
