Another good option for getting started in the wedding video business is to offer your services to more established wedding videographers. Just about everyone needs a 2nd or 3rd shooter from time to time so it’s a great way to build experience and a reel. If you develop the right kind of relationships, you shouldn’t have any trouble getting copies of your footage so you can at least show people that you can shoot nice images. Just be honest in your intentions. DON’T attempt to promote yourself when working a wedding for another videographer and DON’T attempt to call someone you met at the wedding to pitch your services. That’s bad Karma and it will come back to haunt you!
