I was asked (didn't offer) some years ago to shoot a wedding for a colleague
at work. I said I would do it but didn't negotiate a fee because I was
willing as an amateur to do it at cost.
I did it and got lots of praise for the results around the office. Not once
was I even offered the cost of film and processing let alone thanked. My
view was that a token thanks such as a bottle of Scotch might have been a
reasonable gesture.
