A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

word of mouth has always been my best advertisement. I did my first two weddings for $500 for friends of friends that werent overly concerned with wedding photos. I got lucky to get my foot in the door with them, but since then I have done 80% (or more?) of my weddings with some sort of connection from those first 2 weddings. Usually it was a guest at one of the weddings, but it has also been family members of those couples that suggested me to other family and friends that werent at those initial weddings. It just grows from there.
I would say, make sure its still a "nice" wedding, I got lucky these were still upscale weddings, they just didnt want to spend on a photographer.
