Here we go then, one wedding under my belt and now one post I have decided to go for it but a lot to learn. Not huge experience in wedding photography but hugely addicted after just one solo shoot. My biggest challenge is how on earth do you expand on experience when you feel blocked out by other wedding photographers and no where to attend weddings to improve! I have a further booking in 12 months so some time to refine, attended workshops etc plus booked into the conference. No point in being afraid, get in and do it, but if anyone can offer the opportunity to get more practise and images etc would be hugely grateful. So far this is looks a great place to start so very positive right now! Now I'm in there's no turning back!

Hi Chris and welcome. I joined here 1 1/2 years ago not even owning or having ever used an SLR so you are one step ahead than I was. The guys on here are great!  partybeer

Hello Chris,

I know how you feel as I live not too far away in Cornwall and have the same issues. I've done a few course which does help loads not nothing prepares you for the actual day. I keep pushing my photography, I photograph as much as I can when ever I can, whether it be at friends partys, christenings,and get togethers.
