wedding photography from the Heart” />Found advice on here about trying to start a wedding photography business. The advice I found was do not get a business license at first and try a couple of weddings and see if you are going to stick with it or not. All may not agree on it but my question is in California it sounds like the total price charged is taxable. Is that correct? Then if so how do you report sales tax if you don’t have a license? And if the reply is don’t then I would ask about my bank, they opened us a business checking account without a business license and or fictitious name. Does the bank report income deposited into that to any one? I am only asking in case this business does not take off what do I do about sales tax?
You are correct about the entire selling price charged to customers being subject to sales tax in CA. In order to report the sales tax , you need to get a seller's permit with the Board of Equalization. You don't need a business license to apply for a sellers permit. There is no charge. Follow the link provided to find your local BOE office. If your business does not take off, it is easy to close your permit.
If you don't get a seller's permit, but get audited by the BOE, the auditor will look at your bank accounts, both private (if you are a sole proprietor) and business. They can get a subpeona if you don't hand the statements over voluntarily. If you can't prove otherwise, the deposits will be considered taxable income. The BOE exchanges information with the FTB (CA income tax) who exchanges info with the IRS, so you could get audited by all three.

I have been asked to be the photographer at a friends wedding. I have the kodak P850 and would like to get another lenses. Do you think a wide angle or a telephoto lense would get more use for wedding photography?
I hate to tell you this, but you will want both. Your camera has a nice telephoto capability (over 400mm equivalency) so you are set there.
You will use the wide angle the most when shooting the wedding party after the service, but still in the church or hall and during the reception. Most of your wide-angle lens work there will be done when shooting the people at the tables, etc.
When doing closeups of those people on your shot list and other interesting folks, you will want to use the medium telephoto lens setting on your camera (100-150mm equiv.).

I am expanding my wedding photography business http://www.andrei-photo.com.
What would be the best way to reach people ? I heard Yellow pages don't work anymore. Some suggested to put Ad on Google. What is your experience?
develop a portfolio or brochure that shows some of your work as well as referral contacts from satisfied customers. Contact wedding planners to see if they would be willing to use and/or recommend your services. Drop off glossy flyers at florists that specialize in wedding arrangements… get a web page that not only showcases the work you've done, but also has testimonials from satisified customers. Join your local chamber of commerce and network…. be prepared to divulge your business information such as successes, failures, etc.
Nearly every large church has a wedding coordinator on staff (usually a volunteer)… make sure you get flyers and info out to them - many times a bride will trust their church coordinator to make these sort of recommendations.
Consider expanding to engagement photos as well… many bride-to-bes want pre-wedding photos to share with their friends… these are usually less formal than the actual wedding day photos.
indian I have a 12MP dslr, a GN58 flash gun, a tripod and a reflector. I'm thinking of focusing on wedding photography business. Thank you so much for your ideas!
equipment is not the main consideration.
Skill and experience is.
If you have never done a wedding before then before you jump in you need to work as an assistant for a while so that you do not completely and utterly mess up the couples big day.
Good wedding photography is a skill which can only be learnt with practice so going solo straight is NOT a good idea.
