Bridal Photography

I'm currently in a dilema as to whether to get an indian photographer/videographer or a chinese one. Actually dont really like the prewedding shots taken by indian bridal where they splash lots of background colours and dramatic poses. Whereas I'm afraid that chinese photographer will miss out the precious moment shots during the ceremony.

Wht about indoor/outdoor Photoshot? Get a wedding package from an indian bridal or others such as Divine Couture?

I suggest you try to see how both of them work by asking them to let you speak with previous customers, any serious photographer will be more than happy to let you see their work, and by talking to other customers you will know what to expect and what not to expect from them.
In case you need to look at more photographers go to www.theknot.com and click on photography and your town, they can refer some pretty good photographers in your area.

Photography can range depending on what you're looking for. It can go anywhere from $1,500 up. You'll have to be more specific in what you are looking for.

As for make-up, I'm not too sure about "Pakistani" make-up....but bridal make-up again can also vary. Mine cost about $125 and that's airbrushing and full make-up and she came to my house....

my husband is a photographer and working in this field since 1989 and can do every kind of photography,...medical, fashion, bridal,. portrairts, child, and what ever inyour mind. i want to live in IRELAND with the familyand is eworried for the job of my husband.
so please tell are there any jobs and te future of photography in IRELAND.

To be honest, the only area to really make any money in photography in Ireland is in wedding photography. We have a very young population and that means lots of weddings. Most photographers tend to charge from about 1300 euros and upwards. There would be a small market for portraits and graduation ceremony photography too. As the economy has gone a bit wobbly recently, I would say weddings are the safest bet but that is not to say there is not money to be made elsewhere. Now is also a good time to buy property in Ireland as due to the weakening economy, house prices are falling rapidly. Be aware thought that if you decided to sell up in a year, you would have difficulty selling so I would recommend remting at first if you plan to move here. Good luck.

I started a small wedding photography business. I have placed business cards in local bridal shops. but I can't seem to generate any customers at this time. No one is calling, I can't afford the $1,000 -$1600 to enter bridal shows. I know word of mouth is the best way but when you don't have a customer base what do you do? Please help
1.I have been in business for two years.
2. I have shot 9 weddings
3. I have all the things you need to conduct business ie. lic, samples, etc.

I suppose you have experience, a portfolio, have taken formal classes and you've done an apprenticeship with an experienced, established professional phtoographer?

In being a wedding photographer, you will find that you will have dry spells and a lot of free time on your hands; for that reason, I suggest that you expand your business to also include portraits, graduations, Christenings, and maybe even do a little of children and/or baby photos. Those are opportunities to make money ANeD to get your name known. Depending on the area where you're located, you might also want to work for a shop that does on-site photo processing (learn how to operate the equipment, machines, etc... learn as much as you can and keep your eyes and ears open).

Consider also taking a few businesses classes at the local "Y" or local community college through the Evening Adult & Continuing Education Department; it will help you in more ways than one... taxes, accounting, etc. Talented and skilled photographers go bankrupt all the time because they have no kind of business sense; learn as much as you can.

Getting started ain't always as easy as we imagine. For that reason you might want to visit a few churches and speak with the Holy Man, leave a few cards or make a professional looking circular and post it on the bulletin boards, do a few freebies or give them as much of a break as you can (use this to build a portfolio, get recommendations... future referrals) for a few people on really tight budgets. Bridal shops often don't say anything but they may expect a "finder's fee" or a tip (which I am sorely against), flower shops, beauty salons, etc. Speak with the proprietors and let them know that you're just starting out; take a few of their cards and also offer to pass them to any and all of your clients. Do you know anyone in the catering business? That's also a plus.

Don't give up. Starting is always the most difficult part! Listen, all the talent and skills in the world won't amount to anything unless you have the passion to persevere and overcome those obstacles you're sure to encounter; so, hang in there. Good luck and very best wishes.
