Looking for wedding photography tips     posted on 11th of august, 2008

At the end of the month I will be photographing my first wedding. I have helped with weddings before, have shot receptions, and such, but this is the first time it's all on my shoulders. I'm no longer just an assistant.

I'm asking for wedding photography tips. How to communicate with the bride and groom? How to work the ceremony? How to work the reception?

My concerns are mostly in conducting business, communicating, and being a photographer at the wedding rather than concerned about the images I produce.

Any advice would be useful.

Thanks!

Tip #1 - Never work for family or friends. Especially with something as emotional as a wedding.

    About Me
Justin Sailor (Bugsy)
Marquette, US

I first picked up my mom's camera when I was a junior in high school. Coming from a family where photography runs deep it did not take long to get involved.

While at Michigan State University I studied advertising and sociology while focusing on photography every chance I got.

After graduation from MSU I headed off on a year-long 50 state tour of the United States where I snapped dozens of photos for a year. I stayed at least 5 days in all 50 states, staying with over 100 households of people i had never met before in my life.
