"On average I work with three weddings per year. My focus is typically on smaller groups, and I do not advertise myself for weddings. However, I am open to doing more and expanding my experience to include larger events. Just this past week, I took photos at a festival which had many more people than were at any of my previous wedding shoots."

This question likely won't be asked unless the company specializes in wedding photography. If so, the more weddings you work with the better. However, even if you do not work with weddings often, if your portfolio impresses the company, they may give you a chance. Every company has a preference for people who are already familiar with their products, but some will be open to training new people.

"Over the past two years, I photographed over 20 weddings. Most occurred during the summer. That was a lot and far more than in the past, but I'm grateful for the experience. I learned how to work with people from a variety of backgrounds. Their personalities varied along with their requests. Each experience made me grow as a photographer."
