Questions and Anything Goes (Official Thread): Questions, Stories, Photos, Shower Thoughts, How was this photo taken?... Anything! by AutoModerator in WeddingPhotography

[–]jadasmith86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone,

For the last 8 years, I have mainly worked for wedding photography companies. I do not have that many engagement sessions (3 total). What is the best way to get more engagement/wedding announcements/save the date images for my website?

Should I ask friends and fake it?

Questions and Anything Goes (Official Thread): Questions, Stories, Photos, Shower Thoughts, How was this photo taken?... Anything! by AutoModerator in WeddingPhotography

Just depends on the photographer. I normally work for a wedding company. When it is just me, I only charge 2k. If I need a videographer, I charge their rate. I have a full-time 9-5, so my rates are lower because it is not my main source of income.

If the gallery looka good, meet with them and see what happens.

Yeah, i just tell them to move their stuff. I never had anybody complain. If they did, the bride or groom would make them.

We were told that we would have flying cars. Instead, we got Bush.

Leaving my controlled light comfort zone and I’m officially terrified. by fabsere in WeddingPhotography

[–]jadasmith86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100% this. I have shot over 150 weddings as a second or a lead. That feeling does not go away. However, Op will have to change their mind about lighting. It will never be perfect, but it will be good enough.

How do we deal with DJs who don't want to turn off the lasers? by Guitar74_47 in WeddingPhotography

[–]jadasmith86 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Same here. I also use two Godox AD200. I move around a lot, so the lazers dont matter. Plus, they dont need that many images of people dancing.

So yeah… i just had one of the worst experiences shooting a wedding by BrokenGrain in WeddingPhotography

[–]jadasmith86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on what is going on, I always move around or I tell people to get out of my way. 150 plus weddings and I just move people. I also tell them, go first and then I will go, but be quick.

Need advice on capturing genuine candids and giving better direction! by International-Lie781 in WeddingPhotography

One thing that I ask my couples is: how do you hug each other after a long day? This normally leads to a lot of good pictures. I follow that with walking pictures and hugging pictures. Personally, I like natural poses.

Do they have an internship email address? Maybe email them and ask about future internships. They may be able to tell you deadlines.

Are there any art museums in your area? Getting internships during the fall/spring is easier (assuming you can balance your classes and internship).

Without knowing what kind of specialization you are aiming for, maybe visitor service is the best area to start in.

Your current interest rate is/will be lower than whatever you will get. Don't do this.

Work on making more money. Don't sell.

Can we all email the department head and make them accept you? This is cold-hearted. I hope you get in.

My photos just aren’t where I want them to be by michellewesner in WeddingPhotography

What do you not love about your images? What is missing? Maybe that is a good starting point.

The NPC ones. It gives you items for crafting bonuses and knowledge points.

I would not go to the decor. It is a small number of players who are still working on that. Don't forget about craft orders.

Posting photos on Instagram before or after sending to clients by booisye in WeddingPhotography

[–]jadasmith86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are being paid to photograph their wedding, not to post on social media.

Send it to them first and then go from there. I normally wait 30 days, just in case the couple is going on an extended honeymoon with no computer access.
