1. You should love weddings
When asked if someone should pursue a career in wedding photography, our first question is usually, "Do you enjoy weddings?". There are so many different types of photography, and weddings are a beast in their own right, so if you don't enjoy weddings, you'll definitely burn out soon. Why? Continue reading.
2. The easiest part of the process is shooting the wedding
Before you begin photographing weddings, keep in mind that hours and hours of sorting through hundreds of photographs and editing will be required after the event. The wedding day is frequently the most sociable aspect of your career. The rest of the time, you'll be sitting in front of a computer for days on end, editing.
3. It's exhausting
Wedding photography is stressful on the body. You're usually on the move for at least eight hours, carrying a hefty backpack with no time to rest. You may easily go for hours without drink or food without even noticing. Post-wedding hangover is a term used in the industry. That is correct. Your body will be so exhausted the next day that you will be unable to function. You will also lack the energy to do so.
4. You'll be hungry
You don't have time to eat because you're on the go much of the day. You may not even realise it at times. If you're not paying attention, you can easily go without water. This leads to tiredness at the end of the day, so put a snack in your bag just in case you find a few seconds to refuel yourself here and there.
