To Bring or Not to Bring a Wedding Assistant

Posted on March 18, 2011 at 5:30pm 0 Comments

 

Many people first starting out can't afford the services of an assistant. What to do.Well, that depends upon the size of the wedding and photography needs. It's best to start out by doing small weddings that normally can be handle by just you. However, as you grow, so should your staff - by at least one- your assistant.

The assistant needs to assist you and concentrate on the candid/journalistic shots outside the basic list. Remember, the main list is not an…

Wedding Season is Here- All I Want to Do Is is Take Pictures- Yikes

Posted on February 16, 2011 at 9:30pm 0 Comments

To get a wedding you first need to get your name out there. I recommend assisting a professional photographer. This is a great way to get on hands experience. But what if that’s not a possibility, then what?

If you are new to photography, I recommend taking a course and learning the craft. Weddings are normally one of the most important events in a…

Get the Wedding Contract Signed

Posted on February 2, 2011 at 4:30am 2 Comments



The story begins, but not without a wedding contract. I cannot stress enough to always get a wedding contract signed.

§  A contract is always a good idea to make sure all things are covered. I call it the “Peace Keeper.”  It protects both parties from any possible misunderstanding or possible problems.

§  You may want to do a non-refundable deposit. You are holding this day for the couple and if they decide to break it off.…

Hi Diane,

Many thanks for the friend invite!

Just been looking through your pics - your portrait photography is inspiring.

I'd like to do some wedding photography one day but I'm way too inexperienced to be let loose with a camera just yet. The thought of messing up someone's wedding pictures just doesn't bear thinking about! Would love to find out just how stressful your first wedding shoot was and how successful you thought it was.

Keep clicking :-)

Hi Diane, Thanks for the request.  wow you have some beautiful portraits on here!  I have a friend who just asked me to take her wedding pics, not ready for that just yet... way too scary and too much pressure!  so I may have alot of questions for you on that.

Hi Diane, Thanks for adding the wedding tips in your blog. I was asked yesterday by a wedding planner if I did weddings. So far I have resisted because of the stress of shooting a once in a lifetime event, (and I am not sure I want to work that hard). I do have a new lens I have to pay for, so I am thinking of giving it a try. Your information is very helpful.

Best regards,

Dan
