    Hi Mat, great work on the videos. Just finished watching the “How to shoot
    a wedding” series and might I suggest NOT re-doing the videos. Rambling etc
    are all needed so no need to apologize in your videos. Also one of the
    videos you were moving couch etc setting up flashes and asked if it was a
    good idea to leave it in or remove it. I’m glad you did leave it in. Even
    someone half confident enough about the day of shooting might not know
    there limits to rearranging furniture or not. Sorry for long winded
    comment. Again good job love the videos.

    I am going to be shooting a wedding in March next year. I don’t know these
    people, but I don’t have a portfolio. So, I am doing it for free (or at
    least seems that way). I was wondering. If I do it for free should I just
    leave the watermarks on my photos? Or give them prints without it and ask
    them to refer me?

    THANK YOU, MATT! I really don’t think that people appreciate the time and
    effort you put into this – but it really means ALOT for people (like me)
    who is anxious about getting into the business. Also, during the winter
    time in Sweden, inspiration for photography is always appreciated. Thank
    you!

    Hi Matt – my cousin is having his wedding soon and he wants me to take
    photos, but i’m an extra photographer for free, so there’s very little
    pressure one me, he’s using a professional hired one too. Should I work
    with him/her? or even interact with them ? any tips would be handy

    I like to see a ten minute promo to explain a new car without a single shot
    of the car. Very lazy programme.

    Matt, I love your how to shoot a wedding series. It’s great! Even though
    you call yourself the thatnikonguy I won’t hold it against you since I love
    Canon. Have you uploaded anything on shooting live events like conterts? I
    have shoot some live concerts but find it hard to getpermission to shoot
    them. How do I break into that market?

    everyone likes to shoot in their own way.

    This is one of the most honest accounts regarding stepping over the
    threshold (pun intended) 🙂 into wedding photography. Thanks Matt!

    did one this weekend …pure hell from a bunch of tattoo freaks with no
    class….no organisation at all …no wedding must have pictures or
    nothing….one thing i have to say is…if you cant talk to the bride and
    groom before the wedding….run away…dont do it …its bad for the
    business

    it was great!!! all the preparations really paid out 😉 I had one problem
    which I simply forgot to care about (well it can’t be perfect on the first
    time ^^). To get a faster shutter-speed than 1/60 or 1/80 at the
    ceremony…but well it wasn’t such a big problem 😉 I’ll send you a link
    with some pictures I shot 😉
