Brighton Printing – Thinking About Doing Wedding Photography?
The first time you do a wedding will probably be a shock.
What seems simple at first can be a very stressful experience. The best thing you can do is ask to assist a photographer for nothing. You will gain loads of experience about posing, organising shots ect.
I would suggest that you photograph a wedding free of charge and just charge for print costs. By not charging, and the fact that you are NOT yet a business, and as long as you make this absolutely clear to the couple, you are limiting your liabilities but getting some incredible experience under your belt.
Wedding photography is so much more than just taking the photographs, you have to think about the albums, the organising, the printing and above all, your own proficiency, efficiency and professionalism.
Be prepared:
Meet the couple beforehand and talk to them about styles that they like (you might like to get some wedding photography books for them to flick through)
Check all of your camera equipment the night before. Pack plenty of batteries
Check out the venues before the day and look for places to pose the couple and work out what available light you have to play with.
Don’t set your ISO high for indoor shots and forget to change it when you go outside!
Don’t drink too much
Ask someone to help you
Ask the best man or maid of honour to help you organise group shots
Once you get it, weddings can be hard work but an awful lot of fun and very rewarding both financially and satisfactorily.
