hi

im 19 and have this crazy idea that i want to be a wedding photographer :D i did a full time fashion course at college and also a part time photography course...went to do fashion at uni, then decided i wanted to be a photographer! lol so i know a fair lil bit about taking pictures and posing models. i know its best to become a pros assistant first before starting anything so ive mailed loads of photographers in my area but not one has got back to me :( i have also checked out wedding photography courses where you pay hundreds for a few days in a small group photographing pro models. but are these courses a good idea? i mean, they know how to pose ect. a real bride doesnt. i have thought about setting up a website and building up my own portfolio online. but im not really sure!! have my own nikon d40 camera and 18-55mm lens. have thought about hiring out the rest of the equipment i need for the moment. do not know anyone who is getting married yet. so would like some help!! xx

Research wedding photographer websites. Join a photography forum like dpreview. You really should assist for quite awhile before before taking on the responsibility of wedding photography. You will always need a back-up camera and different focal lengths in lenses. Some dslrs don't do well in low light situations and most churches don't allow flash. Insurance is a must. Weddings are hard work!

What exactly did you say to these professionals? Did you offer to shadow them (most likely without being paid) for experience? Did you show them your portfolio? Were your letters / e-mail polite?

Wedding photography is a serious business. Before starting any business first check were your credit stands with the bank. Since you sound like a rooky only by being a professional's assistant would you get the best tips and advice.
It is not as simple as Peter Parker selling his pics to The Daily Globe or whatever.

I think you should totally start something. You're a little older than me, but already I think I'm capable of giving you some advice. Don't go through life debating, do something. Start now so that you don't pass through your life never coming to an agreement of what you want to do in life. Start any ware, just don't sit around waiting for answers and never doing something. Be what you want to be, be a wedding photographer, a professional one if that's what you want.
