New School Wedding Photographer: Skip the Second Shooter / Assistant Role

Hey all, this book is 120 pages of blog-ish content. It is for beginner photographers looking to get into the wedding industry. If you already have a website, and have shot a few weddings, it's probably not the right book for you. If you're sitting at square one right now, and looking for a suggested direction, and a few short cuts along the way, this is more up your alley.

If the $20 you spend here helps book a wedding in the future, it's easily paid for itself.

It is not a guide to overnight success. There is a lot of hard work that goes into something as life changing as a new work-for-yourself career.

-----------------------------

Social media is changing the face of wedding photography. It's now even easier to get up and running with a little help from Facebook and Twitter.

It's all about laying the proper groundwork for a business that will make you happy in the future. This book will help you create a business that targets couples that you really get along with, and have fun with.
Beyond that, it's about creating your ideal lifestyle, as well as portfolio - and using social media (Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, Etc) to help grow your business.

This is the book to read if you're just getting started as a wedding photographer. It details the steps I took to go from 0 weddings one season, to 37 weddings the next year and 47 the year following.

It is broken up into the following sections:

Part 1: Getting Up and Running (FAST!)
Detailed advice on how to set yourself up for success in the future.

Part 2: Shooting
