I've been asked to photograph a wedding in July and also an engagement party next month. These are the first time I've had to photograph events on request. I am nowhere near professional standard, more an enthusiastic amatuer looking to build experience and a portfolio. I am looking for some advice and any helpful hints and tips to help me.
I will be meeting with both potential clients soon and I will be making sure that they fully understand that I am not a professional and it is going to be my first time shooting these events. In terms of charging for these, I am going to do these for free.
What is the deal with insurance? Would I need to get full public indemnity insurance?
I will have the following as my equipment:
D7000
D3100 (backup)
17-55mm
35mm f1.8
85mm f1.8
18-55mm
55-300mm
One Yonguno flash and triggers
Umbrella
Would you recommend that I rent a 70-200 mm or is the kit adequate? My only concern is the telephoto range, not sure if the 55-300mm will be fast enough.
