Great advice for newcomers!

One thing I’d like to add… if you see a photographer advertising for a second shooter and you want to apply, make sure you apply with photos of people! They don’t need to be wedding photos, but you need to show you can handle portrait or candid work. Landscapes don’t show what you can do at a wedding :)

How do you get these photos? Take some of your friends!

I love your tips too!! And although I’m not an aspiring wedding photographer, I think that you guys have tons of information to share that’s very relevant to all types of photography. Do you mind sharing what groups in Dallas that you’re a part of? It seems like there are so many available, and just as many BAD ones as really good ones. Does that make sense?

Thanks!

I’m glad to see T4P is back! As a newbie breaking in the business, I can identify with this post. Luckily, I have two very good friends who are photographers and let me shoot with them. People think I’m crazy to drive two hours to do grunt work for the next 10 hours, but I would rather pay my dues than show up at my first solo wedding unprepared. Thanks for the encouraging post and tips!
