The Pathway to Professional Wedding Photography
How to Become a Wedding Photographer India
(The Standard Path)
"There are no shortcuts. There are standards."
Train. Certify. Contribute. — The InFocus Standard.
10 million weddings annually. Massive opportunity. But most fail because they skip the fundamentals. The path to professional wedding photography isn't about quick wins—it's about meeting standards that make you hireable.
The Problem
Why Most Fail
- —No clear pathway from beginner to professional.
- —Competing without differentiation.
- —No portfolio demonstrating real competence.
- —Underpricing, burning out, quitting.
The Standard
The Standard Path
- →Build skills systematically, not randomly.
- →Create portfolio before first paid wedding.
- →Develop standard that commands premium.
- →Connect to industry through proper channels.
The Foundation
Built by studios.
Not theorists.
This is not another course created by someone who watched tutorials. It is a professional development system built by a Creative Director who runs actual studios in London and Dubai.
The curriculum teaches what studios need. The certification means something because real studios recognize it. The opportunities exist because we have actual projects requiring talented professionals.
