Weddings never go out of vogue. No matter what time of year, no matter what the economy, no matter where you live — people get married and they continue to get married.
Additionally, they (couples, families, friends) are continually looking for new ways to remember and document their wedding days and the events surrounding those weddings.
Even during the recession of 2008-2012, the wedding business boomed. People continued to get married and the wedding industry continued to thrive. With the continually changing technologies and delivery methods, couples are also looking for ways to continually share these memories. Back in the early days of wedding videography, a couple received a poor quality VHS tape that might be watched once a year and quickly became outdated. Now, wedding scan be hot in ultra high definition 4K video, delivered digitally without any quality loss and shared through phones and social media. Wedding videos today might be watched by hundreds of people on a regular basis as opposed to just two on their anniversary each year.

Other events include plays, performances, birthdays, anniversaries and sporting events (just about anything really). People are constantly looking for new ways to archive and remember the important events in their lives.
Of course, they have phones with higher quality video and photo ability, cameras and camcorders are less expensive and there are more ways to do-it-yourself. However, these things still take time and skill. And, most people quickly realize the benefits of having a professional do this for them.

It will guide you through the ins and outs of shooting events with anywhere from one person to a small team and moving forward with what could potentially be a new and profitable career.
