5 Investments New Wedding Photographers Should Make

Wedding photography is a highly competitive genre that requires a lot of anyone looking to make a career of it. And so, when you are first starting, it is important to do everything you can to give yourself the best chances for success. This excellent video tutorial features a seasoned wedding pro discussing five things you should invest in when starting a wedding photography business. 

Coming to you from Katelyn James, this helpful video tutorial discusses five things new wedding photographers should consider investing in to really set themselves on the right path to success. One thing I think a lot of new photographers overlook (and not just in weddings) is the importance of having very strong business acumen. A lot of photographers jump into the professional world once they feel they have the requisite experience behind the camera, and while that is, of course, an important aspect, if you are not versed in marketing, networking, bookkeeping, and more, you will be at a significant disadvantage. Investing in business education is a great idea. Check out the video above for the full rundown from James.
