Thinking of becoming a wedding photographer? Here's what you should know about the job.
It looks like a glamorous job, taking photos in beautiful places and a dance party every night. Or maybe it looks like the worst job ever, dealing with high expectations and family drama. Wherever you stand on the subject, listen up because I’m going to share the best and worst parts of the job to help you decide if you should be a wedding photographer.
True. And I also get to do my own marketing and accounting, I get to purchase my own health insurance. I get to set my own income goals and hustle hard enough that I barely hit them, or sometimes exceed them, so I can pay my own salary. Note that your income will be seasonal too. You will likely not make a regular income so you have to get good at budgeting and planning. That way you’ll know if you need to pick up some extra work in the off-season. A lot of photographers might specialize in weddings but also have other photography they do in the off-season for multiple income streams.To expand on the idea of seasonality, let’s dive into your schedule. As a wedding photographer, you might be working every Saturday and Sunday.
The schedule of a wedding photographer can be really flexible and inflexible at the same time. My best piece of advice for you is to try to build some structure, boundaries, and organization into your day. That way you can enjoy the flexibility without letting it wreak chaos on your life.Being a photographer is a creative endeavor, I love telling stories and crafting images. But being a wedding photographer specifically is about serving your couples.
