I am trying to start free lancing with wedding photography. The camera I am using will be a Nikon D80 with Photshop CS2. Can anyone give me any suggestions on what lens, flash and anyother things i could use for this, Aswell as any tips or techniques on shooting and editing.

I am planning a 4-26-08 wedding. It's going along very nicely, and it's turning out to be very inexpensive due to a lot of connections I have. For example, my dad is a member at the hall where we are having our receptions, so we get a 50% discount. Photography is the one thing I don't have taken care of yet. The places I've looked into START at $2000, and that's without the prints. There is no way we can afford to spend that much. Our parents are already helping as much as they possibly can, so asking them is out of the question. Does anyone have any advice on how to get quality photos that don't put us WAY over budget? Thanks!

I am taking my friends wedding photos next weekend. I have only done one other wedding( everyone has to start somewhere lol). My question is where do I stand to get good shots of the wedding party walking up the aisle? Do I stand in the middle of the aisle, shoot the pic and then move out of the way. Please someone help me. Any other advise welcome too. Thank you and God Bless you I am doing this as a favor for my friend because she cant really afford a photographer. Please only give nice and encouraging answers because I really want to her to have some nice pictures. Thank you

Wedding Photographers are soo pricey. Does anyone have any creative alternatives? I am already planning on doing the disposable cameras. I am concerned with nice portrait type photos.

I am wondering because I have been doing photography for the last 2 years. So I am relatively new. But I have specialized in infant and child portraiture. I just recently was asked to do a wedding, and that wedding turned into another one. I am thinking about expanding my business to include wedding photography. What are some reasonable prices/packages for wedding photography?

I would consider myself a fairly serious amateur photographer and have mainly shot landscapes. My friend saw some photos that I had taken and asked if I could take her wedding pictures. I told her that I was in no way a professional and that I could not guarantee the "perfect" wedding portraits. She said that she knew that and wanted me to take them anyway. Now I am wondering what type of lighting and lenses would best suit wedding photography. I can probably think of some things but I just thought I would ask so that I don't miss anything that would make my pictures better than they would be otherwise. Thank you for your help.

I've been a photographer for some years, but only nature/wildlife, with a little bit of street. I was wondering, what is the best way to get into the wedding photography business? Also, does it make a difference that I use film, not digital? I'm not new to film or photography, I've got it all down and I'm used to my main three cameras, and know everything there is to know about these specific cameras, and how to get good tones and shots from them.

I'm a wedding photographer. I'm interested in getting a magazine with wedding photography as its main subject.

I want to start to do portraits and wedding photography outside because I like to take photos outside rather than indoors. What equipment would I need to buy so I can do that? Currently I only have a canon t1i and the kit lens. Should I shadow someone to learn?

I have a 12MP dslr, a GN58 flash gun, a tripod and a reflector. I'm thinking of focusing on wedding photography business. Thank you so much for your ideas!

Do you email or phone wedding photography companies and ask if they need assistants ? or do you start of with simple studio work. So far I have been building my portfolio with freelance stuff and nightclub photography. And I have taken pictures of 1 wedding, indoor, but very small Are there other options then looking out for gigs on craigslist ?

I was just wondering what I should charge a friend of mines sister to photograph her wedding. I have gone to school for photography and have worked at sports photo places and the most I have made there was 14. Now I think I should charge somewhere around there but honestly I really don't know and I was wondering if you guys might be able to help me out. I have looked online and I only can really get an average yearly salary for wedding photographers.

I started a small wedding photography business. I have placed business cards in local bridal shops. but I can't seem to generate any customers at this time. No one is calling, I can't afford the $1,000 -$1600 to enter bridal shows. I know word of mouth is the best way but when you don't have a customer base what do you do? Please help 1.I have been in business for two years. 2. I have shot 9 weddings 3. I have all the things you need to conduct business ie. lic, samples, etc.

I am planning to buy a camera for wedding photography. Please suggest me one which is suitable for wedding photography and at the same time not too expensive. Thanks for your time.

I have been getting buisness through word of mouth and emailing bridal shops about exchanging buisness cards but its been a slow month. Is there another effective way to advertise without busting the bank for wedding photography? Thanks so much! I have a website that is online and is not a free one, my domain name is my buisness name. I have done craigslist and others like it.

I am expanding my wedding photography business http://www.andrei-photo.com. What would be the best way to reach people ? I heard Yellow pages don't work anymore. Some suggested to put Ad on Google. What is your experience?
