Problem with ebayer! arrrrgghhh!! please someone make me an offer::

Well for what its worth:

I started taking pictures for money at the beginning of this summer ( Weddings) I have now done three weddings in total two of them on my own and the first alongside a Pro friend of mine. Thus far i have got along just fine without a seperate flash or a tripod and on the last almost exclusively just used two lenses DA 35mm and F 50mm (although I have WR 18-55 lens)on Pentax K-r body (I have a M4/3 body with prime lens and std zoom as back up)

What I have learnt so far:

Its not the camera or lenses you have that will net you the shots your clients expect. It is your familiarity with what you have and your ability to pose the clients and help them feel relaxed with you.

Planning is at least half of a good job! good communication between you and the couple is important

State your intentions before hand on what YOU will deliver to them number of shots/time frame for delivery of pics etc this will avoid unmet and possible unspoken conflicts of expectation!

Cropping pics to original aspect ratio this one caught me out on an unpaid portrait shoot

Invest in yourself and your own study of how to take a good picture as much as you do in the gear, this will stand you in good stead as you progress

Hope this has been helpful i dont claim to be any expert, these are just my own experiences thus far......
