Getting jobs as second shooter for wedding photographers

11 years 3 weeks ago #280053 by Craig Stone
I'd like to get my foot in the door with the wedding industry. Where can I find jobs from professional wedding photographers seeking second shooters?

Do you know what sort of experience do they require?

Thank you, I've been keeping an eye on Craigslist here locally and nothing has really jumped out. Was hoping there was other places people look for work.

You could always just phone up a few of the larger wedding photographers in your town, if they don't need a second shooter, you are at least getting on their 'too call list' and they might know someone who is looking for second shooter.

This is my goal one day. I'd like to get into wedding photography. Would be nice to have 1 or 2 wedding clients each month.
