Photography Question

Getting into wedding photography business


I would like to get into the wedding business as I am doing a lot of portraits and some art (sculpture) photography. I would like to first see if it is really for me and thought that getting started as an assistant to an established wedding photographer would give me the insight I need. Has anyone done it this way? Is this the correct approach or will most wedding photographers see that as a threat of someone possibly competing for their business in the future?

  Hi Marius,
Weddings are probably in the top three of subjects discussed here. So I suggest you type "wedding" into the search box at the top right of this page and hit enter.
You've got quite some reading up to do. Have fun!

  Hi Marius,
A good question, and a good idea of doing a BP search ... you'll find lots of fine discussion threads on wedding photography!

  Marius,
You will find this is suggested alot.
doing a search will bring you alot of info here.
I have also heard that many have gotten turned down due to the idea of threat to ones business ( silly?)
but still a good idea to get your feet wet.
Justa thought,
Debby
