How to Become a Wedding Photographer

It's interesting to see that out of the 3 countries examined, the USA leads the way as the most expensive country to hire a wedding photographer, followed by Australia, then the UK.

Obviously, due to the discrepancies in the number of respondents in each country, the data needs to be taken with a rather large grain of salt, but the results still provide a broad overview of the current climate of the wedding industry.

Obviously, no photographer books weddings every single day of the week, so that attractive ‘hourly wage’ quickly dissipates into something far less attractive.

However, whichever way you look at it, shooting weddings can be a great way to earn money.

The cost of doing business for the average wedding photographer seems to be quite similar across the board.

Get in shape and get some inspiration.

Treat the guests as celebrities.

Hire a cheap wedding photographer for your own wedding.

Go to weddings of friends and family and poach wedding photos from the real photographer.

Start a wedding photography website and advertise.

To mark the second anniversary of the couple’s engagement this week, Harry and Meghan’s photographer Alexi Lubomirski released a never-before-seen photo from their wedding day.

Wedding guests who take photos on their phones can get in the way of professional photographers doing their jobs.

Guests, please stop viewing weddings you attend through a screen but instead turn OFF your phone, and enjoy the ceremony.

You are important to the bride and groom, you would not be attending the wedding otherwise.

A woman wrote an open letter to “the girl with the iPhone,” calling out people who interrupt important moments with cellphones and stop photographers from doing their job.

Experienced wedding photographers have attended hundreds of weddings so should have seen most things before.

A wedding photographer needs a combination of skills to be good at their job.

A great photographer will work with you beforehand to go over things like family combinations and the general flow of events for the day to save you from unnecessary stress—that way you can focus on enjoying the moment.

Employers or clients select Wedding Photographers who demonstrate throughout their resumes creativity, photography skills, knowledge of various photographic styles, editing software expertise, good communication skills, and business acumen.

Because they interact regularly with clients, wedding photographers should possess excellent interpersonal skills.
