If you want to become a wedding photographer, how do you get wedding experience?

You first build up your general photography skills and when you know your equipment and the basics you approach established wedding snappers and ask if you can assist them.

I've heard from professional photographers who give lessons that many times a couple getting married don't mind if a "student" tags along with the photographer who also will be learning from the experience. You will also need to build a portfolio. Have you taken any photography classes?

Usually you can sign up for classes through Groupon which gets you a big discount on the class, when run by pro photographers they can help you get into the industry. Also wedding fashion shows or womens events would be a good place to photograph wedding wear that you might be able to use to build your portfolio. What about going to a local wedding shop and photograph their model or a friend in their dresses that the shop can use?

Hope this helps!

Work with an established photographer that will allow you to use the photos you take for self promotion. -Take wedding photography workshops where you can create images for a portfolio. -re models and stylists to help you realize ideas that you have.

-If you know someone what was married recently, offer to do some post wedding photos for free. If you go to my editorial/fashion section of my portfolio, at least 25% of the images feature models I have hired. timothyfaust.com/editorial/ Eventually, you will have to shoot some real weddings, but model shoots are a great way to build a portfolio.

I would suggest go to an established wedding photographer in your area and volunteer to work as an unpaid assistant for several weddings to get some experience. Also read this link...

Practice taking photos of people in general - and take lots of them. Create a portfolio for yourself. Market your portfolio.

If you commit yourself to this, in time, you'll get to be the type of photographer you want to be.

It's just knowing your camera really, not about specifically knowing about how to take wedding shots. You just gotta know how to make your shots look beautiful; correctly exposed, interesting subject and strongly composed.

Discount rates (even free) or you find a photographer willing to take on an unpaid intern or assistant.

Start off small then find a businees nail jobs then make your own job.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
