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.

Wedding Photography Advice (alien.top)

I have a good problem. I recently purchased a 5D3 and a 70-200 iii lens. My pictures have been gaining a lot of traction just being shared around social media (I shoot car/motorsports photos).

I've had a few people ask about shooting weddings already, but I'm not prepared.

  1. What lenses do you primarily shoot with at weddings? I for sure will not be able to use my current 70-200 in most situations.
  2. Any advice over using flash? It'll be an entirely new concept to me. Luckily a flash came with my 5D.
  3. General Advice? Things you wish you knew when starting out with wedding gigs?
  4. What to charge?

Thank you!

If you want to move into shooting weddings, then the best advice is to assist or second-shoot for an established wedding photographer. It's the best way to learn the ropes and get a feel for how they work and what's expected without having the pressure of being ultimately responsible for delivering the final results.
