Exciting Module

This Wedding Module has been fun! Did two engagement shoots which turned out great! We took one both couples down to K St along the waterfront in Georgetown. Our mockup wedding is on September 19th! Can't wait for that.

But lately, I've been feeling excited, scared and discouraged about the whole photography thing. I knew when I got into this that its an expensive hobby/career. I want to be able to shoot weddings but unfortunately, I don't have two good cameras or a very good set of lenses. With money being tight, I don't see myself doing weddings for a while. I may ask around or even my current teacher to see if I can be a 3rd shooter. That way I can get the feel for things and still not have to worry about having extra equipment.

I guess time will tell. At least for now I can do portraits and location shoots when I have time. Next module is about the business side of weddings. Well business in general because that can apply to anything else.

Missing?

So I've been MIA for a while. I've gone through the Web Marketing class and the Photo Illustration Class. Now I'm taking the Wedding modules. Its pretty much 2 modules of shooting, marketing, etc for weddings.

Our teacher is Moshe Zusman. I'm real excited about these modules! Coming into school I wanted to concentrate on weddings and portraits. I've been through portraits and now I'm finally taking weddings.

Our first shoot is on Wednesday and it will be an engagement session. I'll be back soon! Hopefully I don't go MIA again. I've been just too busy with work, life and school.
