How can I start a 'business' of becoming a wedding photographer?
I have recently shot my fiance's brothers wedding and it was perfect. The job, the adrenaline, the pictures (and of course the wedding!). I want to do this more, to create a business from this experience. Where do I get started though? I have already asked family members to keep me mind if anyone asks about a wedding photographer, but what else do I do? I'm on a tight budget so I can't create a website (yet anyway) though I do have a portfolio printed I can show. Any tips?
That is exactley what I did four years ago.
First off get a business license, its important to be legal.
Second advertise on free listings like Craig's list
Third get a myspace page that is free and you can display your work there until you can get something else together.
Fourth find an album vendor that you like, its important to have products like album selections to display your work for meetings. I use albumsinc.com
Fifth have fun and enjoy it, its a great way to make a living
As the money comes in you can expand into local listings on yahoo and google if you still do not have a website.
By the way, a website can cost under 100 dollars if you buy a template from template monster and have a little html knowledge.
One last thing: sierrabride.com and partypop.com offer free vendor listing. There are dozens of sites that take free listings for photographers just google search wedding photography in your region and the look through for free vendor listings. Good luck!
