How to start into wedding photography ?
You sound like me, lol. I thought it would be 'quick' money, HA! I'll
NEVER shoot another, lol. My hat's off to anyone with the patience to do it. I've done a little in my day, with Hasselblad of course, but I didn't want to do too much of it. Be sure this what you want to do. It's terribly stressful photography. I'd rather be in Iraq. |

That can be arranged. The guys in rec.photo.darkroom are sure to want to contribute. One way ticket, of course. Transportation inside Iraq included as a bonus. What would you prefer for transportation? Choices are dromedary or bactrian. Water not included. They can't take the fact that they're morons. |

How to start into wedding photography ?
this is
very easy with digital. In fact just about everything is much easier with digital, and you'll get better results, too!! (let the flames begin...) No flames here. I went all digital last year with my Mamiya and Kodak 645M and love it. I also went Fuji S2 and Nikon D2H and they have improved my game considerably for sports and photojournalism. The Medium format 16 megapixel Kodak does a great portrait job. I was curious how the 14N was working in that department. On the whole aspect of shooting weddings for some cash, but not to sure about shooting people... If I had a buck for all the people that want to kill the wedding photographer for poor lighting etc... Pre-plan by visiting the site...finding out what the couple wants. Get some friends, relatives to help you test your lighting setup and practice your people skills. Dress up to their level and wear a happy face. Try to plan photo windows in the schedule and get the formal bride shots out of the way before the ceremony. They should be your first shots of the day...tell her how pretty she is and have fun...(and don't drink until you're done...I have my wedding pictures as examples.) Vince |

I believe any wedding pro who is not using digital has missed the boat. I fact if he has not been using digital in some way for at least a couple of years he will find himself on very difficult learning curve in order to try and catch up. |

How to start into wedding photography ?
I know it's heresy to say this (here), but I'd suggest going digital.
Also no weddings until you have become quite familiar with using Photoshop and digital imaging processes and printing. I've had a 500C and SWC etc., but I consider them all to be collector items at this point. I now use a Kodak 14n and various flash systems including a modified Quantum 400 W-S, and carry a Nikon D100 for backup. Shoot in RAW mode and you can capture a latitude of 10 stops (try THAT with film). Nowdays it is also common to use bluescreen masking methods to position your subjects into surroundings of their choice, and this is very easy with digital. In fact just about everything is much easier with digital, and you'll get better results, too!! (let the flames begin...) I used Hasselblads exclusively for 20+ years but if I were to get back into it again, I'd go digital. |

By all means...suit and tie no exceptions (unless maybe it's a nudist wedding). Formals done before the ceremony no exceptions. Use more than one light. Don't eat or drink at the reception. |
