I am new to this forum.
I have been looking at starting up a wedding photography business for the past few years and have finally got the bit between my teeth. I have been a keen photographer for over 20 years and had a part time business in the 90's doing wedding videos. Now with the improved technology (digital) I am looking forward to photography. I have a good base understanding of the "wedding formats" but will need some help with lots of bits. My intention is to do it part time and when and if it's successful make is a full time commitment.

Hi Karen
I have looked at your website and I am very impressed!
As you can imagine I am right at the start of the process and I am currently working on a Business Plan and Marketing etc. However one MAJOR problem I see is getting a portfolio together. I am going on a couple of courses in September, and one allows you to shadow them at a wedding. However they will be his/her shots, ie he will get them to pose etc. I know that the best shots may not be posed etc etc, but how do I get started? I was going to advertise FOC wedding photo's but then that may not be a good idea. Portraits, Pets, Lanscapes etc you can all get but WEDDINGS?????????????
Help
Thanks

Everything About Your Wedding
Wedding Marketplace
Buy and sale all wedding related products.
Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
Wedding Music
Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
Wedding Photography
Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.
Wedding Favors
Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you...
Wedding Food
Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget.
Wedding Cake
Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition
Wedding Party
The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
