In my book digital is the easiest way to teach kids. I have four kids and I have several digital cameras. One thing I think is great is taking pictures of each other. If taking pic out doors and it is sunny you should not have no probs. IFlowers, buildings, nature are great pics. Also, you can do food shots to help them practice getting the pic centered. By using digital it lets them see what they need to do different in order to reach the best picture. If they are interested in photography at this age they are curious.

I am glad to see that you realize this as "something of great importance", as it truly is, but what concerns me is that you are putting this couples most cherished wedding memories at great risk. Don't do it! The job of a wedding photographer should not be taken lightly. It takes a tremendous amount of experience and knowledge to be able to deliver a quality job. Unlike portrait or engagement photography, you do not get the chance to redo it if the images do not come out...there is only one opportunity to get these images right and it takes a tremendous amount of knowledge and coordination on the photographers part to make it happen. It is my opinion that no one should ever take on a wedding job until they have been a second shooter at a few weddings to gain experience and become familiar with the flow of the day as well as any issues that may arise. If you are looking to break into the industry you should consider joining one of the wedding photography forums. I know the DWF has a mentoring forum where you can learn from your peers. I really do hope that you reconsider or at least tell the couple your concerns and perhaps offer to shoot the wedding for free to gain experience, that is, if they are willing. Good luck!

Take a small piece of cardboard (2" x 3") and cut out the center to make it look like a small picture frame. Look thru that to get an idea of what your photo will look like.

Make sure you get a good money shot... that's what makes the whole deal.
