How I got the shot- Monika’s Dramatic Wedding Ceremony Photo
Weddings are really all about the ceremony, but these are normally the plainest photos of the day.

How I got the shot- Kala and Braden at Whitney Mountain Lodge
I’ve been writing on this blog for about 8 years now, and I’ve shared all types of things from my wedding shoots to just random events.

Wedding Photography is a Business
I’ve been a wedding photographer close to 9 years now, but those first few years, it was more of a hobby than a real business. I just kind of did it here and there without any real thought to what I was doing. My pricing was random, I didn’t have a website, I had no […]

Welcome to day four of our guide to becoming a wedding photographer.
