From my second wedding job. Everything I read says I must be nuts, but I think I want to pursue wedding photography. Any advice out there?
Michelle Campbell October 08, 2001
I've shot weddings for the last 2 years. There are many times when I think I'm crazy!!! But it is very rewarding. I have not had a bad experiance (yet!). My advice is to look at what is out there....experiment! I ALWAYS suggest that the majority of the pictures be taken outside and those inside a church be done in B&W. I find it easier to work with the lighting and makes the pictures more dramatic. Study poses and pictures in bridal magazines, etc. Perhaps make a small notebook of cutouts from mags that you find interesting that you can study at length and adjust to suit yourself.Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:
I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
You learn by doing. Take your next online photography class.
