Cameras nowadays are a lot cheaper than they were a decade ago. And they are most probably going to get cheaper and yet more highly developed in the next couple of years. At this stage, it's little wonder to see more camera-toting persons shifting from amateur to serious amateur to professional. Nearly all of them go for weddings and events coverage too, primarily because they're the most competitive, progressive, and lucrative in the business of photography.
If you started off early enough, you most likely saw this tremendous increase in the use of previously for-professionals-only DSLRs, met with like-minded individuals and saw some of them transition from hobbyists to serious amateurs and then to professionals. You are most probably aware too that photography is a rather expensive hobby especially to those who always want to update their lenses, camera bodies, and other camera accessories. But you also know that, despite its demands and the costs, photography is really a diverse, more beautiful world.
So if you do choose to make money out of this hobby of yours, how do you begin? The first and most important consideration, of course, is your ability as a photographer. Are your skills profitable in the sense that people would shell out money to have their photos taken, their weddings covered, or their family photographed?
Get reactions from friends and acquaintances, and probably even strangers, from photography communities, forums and social media. The more feedback you get, the more comprehension you grasp of your aptitude as perceived by others. Think about this a start to the social aspect of the business as well. Transacting with people you have met for the first time, after all, is one thing photographers do on a regular basis.
Do you have sufficient experience photographing weddings on the side to fully transition into a Wedding Photographer? Besides, the demands of Bridal Photography are varied, and most photographers will even say tricky to achieve each time. As it is, you are dealing with a different couple every time, a different light, shooting venue, and so on. Everything changes, and you should outstandingly adapt yourself to everything that wedding photography has in store for you.
