At least once a month now I receive the "we will pay you whatever the cost is" to shoot a wedding in Florida and then the reception is in New York/LA/San Francisco a couple of days later BS email. And they always live in South Africa or London. Those Brits! I now reply with "while I would love to photograph your dream wedding, I do live in Louisiana and I will have to charge the $5,000 Gulf Coast Tax as well as add on the $999 Wetland Flyover Fee and the $0.01 added airboat tax. Total cost then for photographing your wedding will be $35,999.01. I look forward to your reply. Why no one ever replies I don't know.
