I really like, if anything I would take out the land bottom left, the sunset itself is what you want to see in this picture! I've only been lucky enough to see one like that over the coast as I live inland, but love the big sky of it. -
Starting wedding photography

<p>I was in a similar situation to you, had been 'into' photography for years, had second shot with a pro friend and was consistently turning out good work, but had no portfolio.</p> <p>I got involved with a few wedding forums and explained exactly what I was about, what my experience level was and showed the pictures of non wedding related pictures I did have and offered to do a few for FREE in order to gain experience. Remember whether you charge a £1 or £2000 you are offering a pro service and can be held accountable if it goes wrong.</p> <p>Yes, you will likely get the bargain weddings, but all you need is a beautiful bride and groom and a natural background and you have the start of a portfolio.</p> <p>I quickly worked up to £650, then £850, then £995, now typical sales are around £1,600 and £2,000 isn't uncommon.</p> <p>Just be honest, reinvest profits back into building up your portfolio and its a proven method of getting there.<br> W<br> orked for me back in 2003, I'm still going anyway! </p> -
<p>Eek! That's pretty awful. I had to edit a load once where the photographer had a complete mental breakdown during the service and was committed to a hospital. The photographs start out OK then you can see this poor guys brain going wrong as the day progresses through his images.<br /><br />If it's not sorted already I can take a look
