Can anyone recommend a good wedding photograph course to go on that will teach everything from start to finish!

Thanks Andre.

You can get one with Anabelle Williams for about £9000

That's 1-2-1, end to end - which sounds like what you need

A year ago I was at your stage and I think my very first post here was asking about photography courses.

In the end I did not find one close enough to home but what I found infinitely more important wre the business skills and marketing courses that I took. (I was made redundant from the construction industry and had no business experience)

If you have the talent the photography side will develop naturally but really good grounding in business and marketing skills is essential. Your local enterprise organisation will run them. Your council or chamber of commerce should be able to put you in touch if you do not know how to locate them.

Good luck. A year down the road I am now wishing I had taken the plunge ten years earlier.

I'm pretty sure the Anabelle Williams technical approach is to

"put it in JPG and full automatic"

once you've worked out how to do that, you crack on with the business/marketing/products/posing... and the other 1001 things you need to know to for weddings.

I can't imagine anyone being able to teach you all you need to know and you still being able to afford it...

There are some things that money can't buy. Like a personality for instance!

Wedding Photography is 20% technicality and 80% being able to work with people. I find it more stressing organising the guests into the photo's the B&G require than I do about the actual taking of the photo - which once mastered becomes second nature, handling people is somewhat different.

I did a wedding once where after the Reg Office service was over a lot of the male guests went over the road and into the pub - at first I did not know what to do so I had to think quick, so I went up to the best man and asked him to get them back for the photo's ---- fortunately that worked.
