This is where the rubber meets the road. Photography is fun but the reality of making it your career, or even a side-gig, is a lot of behind the scenes business and roadblocks if you don’t know the secret inside path. Clients won’t trust you with their wedding day without a portfolio and experience. Photographers won’t hire you to second shoot for experience without knowing the inside language.
And, let me guess: You didn’t major in business in college? It’s okay. Many of us didn’t either but that doesn’t mean you can’t learn just like we did. The earlier you take these steps and learn the language, the faster your business will grow, the less growing pains you will feel, and the sooner you will be accepted into the wedding industry.
