If you’re new to photography for goodness sake STOP booking WEDDINGS. The only way you should ever be near a wedding with a camera as a new photographer is as a guest. There is no situation where you should ever be shooting one off events. When you fuck up someone’s wedding or one off event and you absolutely WILL, there is no do over.

The whole, “my friend knows I’m new and learning” is absolute B.S! They do not have the slightest clue what that means. Neither do you. Learn and master the fundamentals of photography first.
