Hi there

Hi, my name is Suzanne and I'm a 29 year old mum of 4 and a lover of photography. I am just starting out doing wedding photography after doing some friends weddings and then be recommended on from there.

I also love getting natural shots of my husky and kids.

I have a K-x and I use my stand 18-55 lens, I also have a 70-300 tamron lens and only a few days ago I got a bargain smc pentax m 50mm f1.7 which Ive done a few test shots with and I love !!

Heres a few of my test shots

Welcome Suzanne..

Great to see more Kx users. Please enjoy you time with us..

Welcome Suzanne. Pleased you took a look and decided to give us a try

You will find a few threads on the subject of wedding photography on here. Worth doing a search.

Might be a few with actual photographs of weddings, but certainly plenty on the sort of equipment used.

Hello and welcome

Good morning and welcome. A little advice. If you are thinking of doing weddings for money then the first thing you MUST DO is invest in a second body. Cameras are electromechanical wonders these days but they can still go wrong and your clients would not forgive you if you could not finish the job due to camera failure.
CHEERS Vic.

Hi suzanne

Welcome to the forum.

Doing weddings for friends and for money are two totally different things, whilst your friends may be pleased with their photos from your basic kit, your kit just wont cut it for paid for work, where clients will be more critical.

As well as having sufficient kit, you will also need back up lenses, flashes and two bodies as a minimum. You will also need public liability insurance for work in the UK, this isn't a legal obligation but a business must.

You also need a contingency plan if you fall ill or are unable to shoot the wedding.

Wedding photography is hard work and whilst fun, is very time consuming and is more than just about photography.

Hope this hasn't put you off the idea of wedding photography but made you a little aware.

Nice examples with the 50mm its a great lens.

Hello Suzanne

Welcome to the forum and the site in general - there are plenty of K-x users on here and some stunning images shot with this camera.

I agree with what cabstar (Gary Stafford) has said; if you're serious about doing weddings you will need the very best kit you can afford. The K-x would be great as a backup body, but a K-5 would be better for your main camera and you will need a high quality zoom with a decent maximum aperture and probably a couple more high quality primes in a longer focal length. The 18-55 kit lens is great, but is not 'fast' enough for indoor work without flash.

You clearly love your photography and your enthusiasm comes across in spades!

Best wishes
David
