The Best Part About Being A Wedding Photographer

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!

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...

Black and White - Conversion VS Infrared, See the Difference.

Digital Black and white photography can be created through many techniques. You could use the Instagram app and click a pre-made filter, use a more advanced software program like Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop, convert it directly inside your camera body, screw on an infrared filter to the front of your lens and convert it to black and white post production, or convert a camera to only capture infrared light. Today I'm just going to explore my two favorite methods: 1) Using an infrared converted camera. 2) Converting images in Adobe Lightroom. So what is the difference between the two methods? A color image that is converted to black and white allows you lots of control over each color channel. This is handy if you want to make different colors stand out by being brightened or darkened in your final black and white image. An image that is captured from infrared light has much less control over colors as the only colors captured are tones of red. Ho...

Nepal Relief Project

Mission : Raise $10,000 to aid in the Nepal relief effort. Where is the $10,000 going? – We are channeling funds through Plan International USA , a global organization established in 1937 with a mission of ending poverty for children and developing solutions to ensure long-term sustainability. Plan has had members on the ground in Nepal for many years working in rural areas outside Kathmandu and is in position to effectively deliver help and relief to families in need. How will we achieve this? We will sell fine art pieces and accept donations. Each piece sold is a member of a limited collection, where only 35 prints will ever be made. Each piece of art is hand signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. From each sale, 100% of the net profit will be donated. When will the funds be sent? After each sale or donation, we will immediately transfer funds to Plan . Where can I view the art available? http://www.timw...
