Wedding Photographer Job Requirements
Educational Requirements
Employers usually place more emphasis on creative and technical abilities than formal education when hiring wedding photographers, according to the BLS. However, there are associate's, bachelor's and even master's degree programs in photography that can give wedding photographers both experience and skills in how to apply various photographic styles, use different lighting techniques and develop business acumen. Wedding photographers must also have an advanced understanding of digital and traditional camera mechanics, such as exposure, focus and different shutter speeds.
