Newspaper photojournalism: The perfect training ground for wedding photography
I began my career as a photographer for a daily newspaper in San Diego. Think police scanners, tight deadlines, and gross darkroom chemicals.
Yet, each assignment brought a new challenge, whether it was a mundane press conference, a creative portrait of a business owner, or an action-packed San Diego Padres game.
But no matter the assignment, one thing remained constant: I had to bring home the goods. No reshoots, no do-overs.
This environment was the perfect training ground for wedding photography: Relating to a wide variety of personalities; diligent preparation so the day flows smoothly; working with what’s in front of me; and always keeping a watchful eye for unexpected, magical moments.
