how to grade/classify yourself as a semi-pro in the first place?
my advice is that if you value him as a friend, just do it for free and free yourself from any "traditional" wedding photography obligations, which means you'll shoot but with no promises as to what you'll deliver, how long you'll stay etc. Trust me, you'll have more fun and odds are, as a friend you're not going to be able to charge him enough to be worth your while.
yeah since its is for a friend and not for commercial purpose, you may want to provide a free service, probably just ask him to sponsor your lodging and meals (treat it as a holiday and free models for you to shoot).
One way to look at this, is to assume that you are an amateur like me. If you charge money, then you are obligated (contractually) to deliver a "product of xyz quality". Since you are learning it is possible for things to go wrong (friends can be friends but bad things can happen too).Just asking,

U dun have to let others or your friend know this is your first time. U shoot it like a pro. A true pro has no excuses.
Doing it for free is not an excuse to do shytty work. If u do it, do it well. If u think u cant, dun do it, not even for free. If u r gonna do it, charge him...and do it well.
