Congratz Eric! I know you may be freaking out now, but you'll be so glad you had this opportunity later on. Sounds like it is going to be a forced growth experience. Being nervous is normal, just don't let it get you all scatterbrianed. You are a great photographer and just because these aren't your normal nightshots doesn't mean you won't do great. ;] Everyone else has been giving you great advice so not much I can add. If people do ask to buy prints, then you will need a $ figure. First, figure out what it costs to get a print done, then figure out how much time it will take you to make each one happen. What is your time worth? It sounds like a ritzy event, so don't be cheap with yourself. If it costs you $10 to print, them tack on another $10. If they don't want a print, no skin off your nose. Get some practice in beforehand...and try to have fun. Good luck!
