Wedding Portraiture
"[T]he single biggest thing I did was to trust my gut and stick it out...Sometimes, it's ok to say no to a client’s idea (if it's bad), if you can come up with a better or more creative use of the time to capture them."

Raves & Reviews
Abul Shah
"I first joined SLR Lounge in my first year going fulltime as a professional wedding photographer, with both the community and content being all the support that I still truly needed...I certainly wouldn't be the photographer I am today without SLR Lounge..."
Andy Chang
"SLR Lounge continues to provide an enormous amount of content for a great value...SLR Lounge took great effort to reinvent how people critique photographs online on their various platforms...[and] [t]heir course selection is very diverse and thorough starting from the choice of gear to location scouting and posing to post-processing."
Paul Seiler
"So much quality knowledge on lighting and technique...[s]tandard YouTube videos are no longer enough to quench my thirst for [p]hotography knowledge. SLR Lounge makes it their priority to ensure quality content for the good-spirited fellow & uplifting community. It's another level of refreshing."
