    This put me at ease so much. I'm painfully introverted, but love photography. I've done multiple family shoots / just kids photos, but this weekend is my first wedding. It's comforting to see someone else who's introverted and succeeding.

    I read a BBC article the other day too that mentioned how sugar/glucose helps lower decision fatigue when you're getting stressed out. They didn't say refresh your mind. It was specifically about decision fatigue (which photographers deal with a lot). And the science behind it seemed pretty legit. Like it's a great short-term fix. And it can be a great way to get over any hump where a person is making a lot of hard decisions in a short amount of time.

    Not sure if you touched base on it but i’ve done maybe 4-5 weddings, all for friends and this tips kinda goes without saying, but dont drink or party with the people because its very easy to get sidetracked and miss great shots. Especially doing wedding for friends who know you well.

    Perhaps a "dumb" question but I am newer and a Nikon shooter with a Z6. Do you always shoot in continuous focus mode? If so, do you have it set to shoot based on focus or button push? Your videos are not just informational, they are usually pretty funny. Thank you from So. California

  • @zendog8888
    @zendog8888 Před 2 lety +1

    I'll also throw in. Insure your gear. Accidents happen. And the more you shoot the more likely it will happen. If someone bumps into you. And you don't have a few grand laying around to replace your gear. That can put you out of work for months. So get insurance to get you new gear replaced or fixed asap

    • @saraplank1078
      @saraplank1078 Před 3 lety +4

      As a fellow beginner on my third wedding, I actually do small weddings for $50-250. It really depends on your experience, your ability to market yourself, and showcase how much you’re worth. That will usually come with building up a camera gear setup, a great portfolio, and a website. For a professional wedding photographer who charges $1500-3000, you have to truly deliver for that hefty price!
