How to get started in wedding photography?
I want to start to do portraits and wedding photography outside because I like to take photos outside rather than indoors. What equipment would I need to buy so I can do that? Currently I only have a canon t1i and the kit lens.
Should I shadow someone to learn?
* Learn how to use a fully adjustable camera (school is the fastest and least frustrating way to do this)
*Work as an assistant to a wedding photography. Buy the equipment you need earned from the excellent work you do while working with the pro
* once you have learned the business and accumulated the equipment you need, figure out what you have to make per wedding to stay in business.
Here is something to help you determine how much that is.

Most wedding photographers have two dSLR’s one full frame and one APS-C sensored camera. They also have two dedicated electronic flash units with flash diffusers, each mounted on a flash bracket to avoid redeye.
Lenses: 24-70 mm f/2.8, 70-200 mm f/2.8 and 50 mm f/1.4
Memory cards: 6 to 8 – 4 gb CF cards
Lots of spare batteries
