      It's a bit a of a hit and miss usually. If you try to get images of stuff that's too close to the camera, most toy cameras can't really handle that. Obviously different plastic lenses might differ in quality too, it's not really an exact science. Steady hands help with most photography situations, mind. If you don't have those, then try using a tripod for sure.

      Depends, if I have at least 5 minutes alone with the rigns I'll stick the 100mm macro on. Sometimes, if there's a very short window of opportunity, I'll use what ever lense I have on.

      Thanks!

      The easiest way to start would probably be with Jesh's original Field Guide: http://enlighten.jeshderox.com/#beloved I know he's working on some new ideas of how to teach the techniques to people, so you might want to keep an eye out for any announcements he might make on that front.

      Once you understand the principles and have some experience, you can create pretty much as many invites as you imagination will allow.

      There's no one answer, it depends so much on the venues and the time of year/day. I do use my 35mm and 50mm a lot. I tend to stick somewhere close to f2.

      I couldn't disagree with you more. I shoot a very wide variety of weddings, from summer garden weddings in the countryside, to small city weddings, to big intimidating venues, to winter weddings in all sorts of places. What is similar I guess is that it's all shown through my eyes & style aesthetic.

      I'm not the best persion to ask, as I'm well aware that what happened with my business is not the norm. I got my first booking 1 week after launching my website, and it grew pretty rapidly from there to within 2 years getting 1000+ enquiries per year.

      I first started photographing professionally in the 90's, but I didn't enjoy wedding photography then. I decided to do photography as a hobby for over a decade, while I worked as a magazine designer, but in 2008 I decided to switch back to just doing photography for a living, and to specialise in weddings/couples.

      Yes, they can use images they've shot (and edited themselves) in their portfolio, but they must disclose that the image was shot for me (I own the copyright as per my second shooter contract).

      This is a bit too wide of a question. It depends on so many things: what time of year, what time of day, how big room, what colour walls, how many windows, how many mirrors/reflecting surfaces... Yes, I always set ISO according to the situation.

      Everything really. Just paying attention to all the beauty that surrounds us, and all the amazing things we're capable of.

      I don't really pose much, I rather try to get the couple to concentrate on each other and my biggest concern is always giving them the space and tools to do that. Sometimes you just have to try to be patient enough to get through the akaward phase, your own demenour affects the situation and response a lot.
