I only started getting into photography in December. Didn't go crazy with gear or anything, just been watching a bunch of YouTube videos and learning the basics. Honestly, once I figured out the rule of thirds, everything kind of clicked. Like, that’s the main thing, right?

Anyway, a friend asked if I could shoot her wedding. I was upfront about being new, but she still offered me $350 for the whole day. I thought that was fair since I’m still building a portfolio.

I shot it all on my Pixel, just used portrait mode and made sure to frame everything using the rule of thirds. That alone made the shots look really professional. The lighting was good most of the day, and the phone handled it all fine. I didn’t even need to edit much afterward, just a little color tweak here and there with filters.

People have been really positive. The couple loved the photos, and I’ve had a few others reach out asking about shoots. Honestly, it kind of makes me question why people spend thousands on cameras when phone cameras are this good now. Might just stick with my Pixel for now until I really "need" something more.

Anyway, curious to hear what you guys think.
