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.
- 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.
- Any advice over using flash? It’ll be an entirely new concept to me. Luckily a flash came with my 5D.
- General Advice? Things you wish you knew when starting out with wedding gigs?
- 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.
