8. Want a Couple that Values Your Work

9. Shooting Manual Mode

~ Jasmine Star

10. Wedding Photography Will Change You

I believe every photographer should be a wedding photographer before they move to something else
~ Jasmine Star
Jasmine’s quote was tweeted by @KellyMullaney. I could not agree with this statement anymore. Think you’re a kick ass photographer? Try being a wedding photographer for a few weddings and have your ego become fully challenged. The speed at which a wedding moves is intense as the moments you need to capture will heighten your overall sensory vision because you need to be on top of it. The lighting conditions on a sunny day with clouds will challenge your photography skills like never before. Dealing with client meetings, editing a massive numbers of photos, and still having a good time will be a real eye opener. You’ll know if you really like it or not. Either way, you’ll come away as a much stronger photographer!

Conclusion

These were just a small number of amazing quotes from Jasmine Star’s Day One event on CreativeLIVE. Right now, Day Two has already been on for a few hours now. If you’re building your wedding photography business, I highly recommend buying the downloads to watch in the future. The wisdom Jasmine is sharing is definitely going to help my own wedding photography elevate a few levels higher.
