Its one thing offering portraits - they can always be repeated if not up to scratch, but you can never ever go back and recapture your wedding day.

Basically, this excellent advice is as follows... Don't make your clients pay for your education, in other words, do not set yourself up as a photographer, until you know you can deliver the goods.
Don't shoot off zillions of shots in the hope of getting a few keepers. Instead learn your equipment inside out,have equipment that can do the job, find models who will pose in exchange for a CD,second shoot and assist,attend workshops and practice all the time.
I think this is great and sensible advice.
