So, a close family friend asked me to do her Wedding Pictures in June/July 2009!
Probably will get pretty decent pay.

It is my first wedding and I do a lot of nature, and very little "people portraits"

So, got any tips for doing Portraits?? I gotta start doin some practice!

+ I'm doing Family Photos for another co-worker within the next month.
+ House advertising photos for my Aunt (Wide angel/Fish eye lens to capture each room fully)

And I'm only 15 biggrin.gif

Practice with friends, read lots from people who already do it. That forum will assist you.

And don't worry its safe for younger people. wink.gif

I did my first wedding a few weeks ago. It was fun but stressful.

I know google is my best friend.
I am doing research everywhere.
Including here, the Photography section. I though some of you may have done
one before and have some tips.

My tips, act like you're invisible. Don't be afraid to jump up at the end of the walkway to take a snapshot of people walking up it. Don't be scared to get close. Keep it natural, etc.
