When I decided to take on photography, my end result goal was to only shoot weddings. I like the idea of working with a client for months and months then finally shooting one of the most important days of their lives. I feel that it suits my style and personality more than shooting the typical family portrait (which, don't get me wrong, I don't mind doing them, I just think their not so much my style). But how do you book a client for a wedding when you've never done it before?
I have to admit, I started this business in the middle of wedding season, so I knew I wouldn't get any bookings. Also, the opportunity to second shoot/assist went out the door because everyone was already booked and had made previous arrangements - which is fine! I was prepared for this. So I started to think outside the box. I called up a friend and asked her to find a white dress. I went to Thrifty Foods and bought some flowers, picked some holly and bough from the front yard to make the bouquet and head piece. I did her hair and make-up and we were out the door!
I decided to set up this mini styled-shoot so I could start building my wedding portfolio. You got to start somewhere, right?! I love how
everything turned out. I had a vision and it came out exactly how I
pictured it in my head. Take a look into my Bohemian Winter Wonderland and let me know what you think :)
Thank you Etana for being a lovely model. I really appreciate your patience and willingness to help a sista out! ;)
Happy Monday!
