5 Reasons to Attend a Styled Shoot as a Wedding Photographer in Utah

Recently I put together this beautiful, Concrete Inspired, styled shoot. I absolutely love styled shoots and the opportunity to be created with no pressure but when I talk about styled shoots not everyone knows what they are or why they should attend a styled shoot. I decided to put together a list of 5 Reasons to Attend a Styled Shoot as a Wedding Photographer in Utah.

What is a styled shoot?

A styled shoot is a shoot put together, usually by a photographer or event planner, in which other photographers come to shoot and get images for their portfolio. Usually there is a cost with attending to help cover the costs of putting the shoot together. Styled shoots often have a theme or inspiration.

Here are 5 Reasons to Attend a Styled Shoot as a Wedding Photographer in Utah

1. Build your portfolio – Attending styled shoots is a great way to add beautiful images to your portfolio to then attract beautiful wedding clients.
2. Network with vendors – Knowing and having a working relationship with other vendors in the wedding industry is helpful both to you and your clients. It’s great to be able to recommend vendors you trust to your bride and perhaps the vendors will do the same with you.
3. Practice practice practice – Styled shoots are great opportunities to practice different poses, lighting techniques, or even settings. There is no pressure, so it’s a great opportunity to try something new and practice.
4. Learn from other photographers – shooting with other photographers is a great opportunity to learn new poses or just how to more effectively communicate poses that you love.
5. Meet other photographers – I can’t over state how great it is to have other photographer friends. Friends to bounce ideas off of, shoot with, vent, etc. I know it seems weird to be friends with the competition 😉 but honestly, have friends that “get it” is THE best and styled shoots are great places to meet new photog friends.
