I love to be "helpful" but help includes telling folks the possible ramifications of doing work they are not qualified for. I have seen a number of well-meaning, generous and altruistic folks end up on the nasty end of a lawsuit as a result of venturing into wedding photography without knowing exactly what they are doing.

What's worse, is that some of the suggestions in this and similar threads are inaccurate, and obviously not actually based on time-honored practices and experience. Some of it is sour advice based on the writer's bad experiences caused bt inept approaches.

Hopefully, the aforementioned hard luck will no befall our OP and she will emerg vicariously and intact. I feel, however, it is irresponsible to encourage anyone to do something that may falter without pointing out the risks.

As I have previously mentioned, I have been at this for a very long time and have trained many talented wedding photographers. Before I advise anyone to go out and do a solo shoot at any wedding, regardless of the size or budget of the affair, they have trained as an assistant and/or second shooter for at least a year and many are already competent professionals or advanced amateurs in other photographic specialties. For me, just telling someone bit's and pieces like bringing spare equipment, what lenses to buy, rent or use, or a few lighting tips and avoiding mothers-in-law, just doesn't cut it.

I have nothing against amateur photographers and I have taught and trained many of them to be stellar wedding shooters and successful professionals.

I have seen the classic scenario many times where the bride and groom say they ain't fussy and don't expect anything perfect but after the fact, if they are not satisfied, they become critical aficionados of
fine photography and all hell breaks loose!

I can only advise or suggest- I can't insist and won't argue endlessly! The OP is an adult and will make up her own mind!

Thank you
As always your advice is spot on. I have only used the basic software provided with windows 10 as a editing tool. I really need to learn Lightroom and photoshop but every time I start to work with it the photo ends up destroyed basically and me really confused about what proper steps and where to basically start with them. I’ve actually had both subscriptions for some time however recently let them go cause I just wasn’t using them. Maybe I should invest the money into knowledge or detiectional guides to using light room and photoshop. The 85mm was a birthday present to me from a friend so to be honest I havnt shot with it much and I’ve only had it a couple of days. I’m just getting tired of shooting the same landscapes and I tend to work well with people so I thought why not
