[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 244328, member: 14443"] I dont sit much time with PP. but no matter how you look at it, with all the pictures, it takes quite some time haha. but its easy editing with acdsee. exposure, color, contrast. stuff like that. I dont care what they think about the photos. my work is stellar. theyd be stupid if they said the pictures are meh. show it to a normal person and they would say some amazing pictures. but I do care that I do a good job. its being content inside I gave your best. you know, when you give from yourself and have that happy feeling you were able to get all the shots you needed and you got some great captures. they know my works so the style I show them is what theyll get. so there are no surprises. I also do the safe shots. its a must. you have different generations and you have to cater to the parents (old school) and the BG/ their friends who want crazy more modern stuff. It usually happens to be something like this.. 40% bulk necessary standard photos you MUST capture. the fill is what I call it. then you have 30% snipping/stealth/PJ style capture. emotions, stuff like that. then 20% creative stuff people say "holy cow thats beautiful" and 10% spectacular out of the ordinary shots you could place in your profile to promote yourself. I wont tell you prices because I dont do private weddings. I work as a freelancer for other photogs. I used to do private weddings but I dont want the headache anymore of running around after the wedding. but this was family so it was different. and I didnt get paid much. and it was fine. its not so much about the money. I hate the business part of wedding photography. just want to shoot and create. I say it usually takes about 5 years for a new photographer to get constant work. so be patient. but you must advertise. go to venues and see if you can work with them. network with makeup artists/florists/dj's/dress stores/limousine service. send friend requests to professionals in your area. ask to meet with them. collaborate on sales for the winter. try to do a sale for a dress/dj/photog combo deal and post that on FB. get as many friends as you can. use their advertisement service. constantly post new pics so people have your pictures imbedded in their minds.
