there is an article on this on our website.
Be confident. Try getting as much experience as possible before you take on your first job. You are responsible for one of the biggest days in a married couple's life.

The best thing any aspiring photographer can do is to assist another photographer who knows the ins 'n out of photography. There is no quick fix when it comes to capturing the "moment" only through experience and some FAILURES can you really learn to cut out your mistakes and know the ropes of a wedding photographer. Hope that helps.

You will need at least 2 cameras if you want to shoot weddings. In fact you need a back-up of pretty much everything! You have just 1 chance to get it right, equipment failure is not a good excuse to give a bride for only having 6 photographs.

It depends on your budget and if you want film or digital. I have been using a Nikon FE for years.

For wedding photography An eos 20d will do you. Whatever camera you use make sure you test it out in the shop. Here is a good website for reviews etc www.steves-digicams.com

There are lots of great camera's out there. What is your budget? The soon to be discontinued canon eos 20d was designed for wedding photographers in mind.

What is a fixed lens?

Hi. In brief a fixed lens cannot be removed or changed. Fixed lenses generally offer a wider maximum aperture compared to zoom lenses and in my opinion offer better quality. In terms of what is best for you that really depends on what type of work you are using the lens for. For example you probably would not use a 14mm fixed lens for a portrait picture. Good quality fixed lenses are expensive so make sure you get the right one for the job. Hope this helps. Ganiyu

Try and make a child feel comfortable by engaging with him or her your main aim is to try and make a child relax.

Is it true that digital camera's have a shelf life based on the rate of shutter usage

Digital camera shutter life
That sounds really weird! We take over 60,000 photos a year but have not so far noticed this efect and have been digital for 3 years now. xx Elaine.

Yes it is true so beware when buying a used camera on ebay!

I think this is true around 20.000 clicks of the shutter after that things start to go a bit skewiff!
