The Best Part About Being A Wedding Photographer

By Anonymous
I love being a wedding photographer.  Every year I love it more and more.  Can you imagine having a job where someone pays you money to make them happy and love everything you do?

This has been the best career choice I could have ever made.  When I shoot weddings there is also a second bonus.  I get to spend the day with my beautiful wife!  Thats right!  She is my second shooter, and partner in the business.  I can't think of anything that makes me happier than spending time with her and making a client happy simultaneously!  That is some serious business/family multitasking at it's best!

Anywho, the best part about being a wedding photographer happens after the wedding.  Maybe I'm a sentimentalist, but when I design images for the review session (when the bride and groom get to see their images for the first time) I go straight for the heart strings.  First I show a series of my personal favorite images of the day, and those are always the most intensely emotional images.  I give the newly weds the best experience possible for viewing their images for the first time, and they always love it.

There is nothing better than seeing a couple get excited, laugh, and cry tears of joy when they see their images on the big screen.  It is so emotionally rewarding, inspiring, and motivating to have someone like what I do enough that they have a tear of happiness - I love this part of my job.  Thats what keeps me motivated to continue as a wedding photographer, try new things, and expand my business reach.

I guess what I love about being a wedding photographer is really... love!

Liz Valentine's Headshot Session

By
As always, we had a blast with Liz!  Her fun, happy, energetic personality is SO contagious! Liz is the owner/operator of Studio V Media & Photography in Port Allegany, and we often work together, weather we are taking pictures for each other's families, talking "shop", or just hanging out for some fun. For this shoot, Liz has just become the proud new owner of a Cannon 70-200mm f/2.8 lens.  If you don't know what that means - it is a REALLY BIG LENS that EVERY photographer wants, and once they have it... it becomes part of their family.  Its generally one of the most favorited pieces of glass ever created - so, yes, it is worth getting a photo shoot for yourself to celebrate the occasion!

Competition? What Competition?

By Anonymous
Photo Courtesy of Studio V. Photography Often, we are asked how we make our photography business thrive when there are so many competitors out there, especially in a rural and isolated location like ours.  Sure, there are mom-togs, those who do it for a hobby, those who undercut our prices, those that far out price us, those that offer downloads, free prints, etc., etc.  After all, in a boutique business like ours, people are going to either love our work or hate it.  They're either going to come to us or go somewhere else.  That's okay.  We're here to help those people that love our style, our personalities, and our art.  Sometimes what we offer doesn't fit the customer's choice.  That is okay. Hopefully we can help them out in some other way.  Perhaps we can give them guidance on what to wear , a checklist for wedding preparations , or even recommendations for a colleague that might suit them better.

So You Want To Be A Photographer?

Are you interested in becoming a photographer?  Do you want to turn your passion for creating images into a source of income to support yourself and your family? Tim Walck Photography will soon be offering online courses in photography training, and portrait business training.  Each course will span 4-8 weeks.  Every student who participates in all classes will gain the tools necessary to succeed in the wedding and portrait photography business. ---- I started my photography business with only $2,000, which I had saved from working as a tele-marker, social services provider, and substitute teacher, all while being a full time graduate student at Mansfield University.  That was enough to buy a camera, lens, and flash.  I poured my heart and soul into photography, read everything I could get my hands on, and began to build my business.  After 3 short years of juggling multiple jobs, and being a photographer on the side, I made the leap into phot...
