I offered free videography services to build my reel on craigslist last month. I got call next day and filmed my first wedding video the following week. It was a lot harder than I thought, but it was fun. Client loved the final product. She also paid me 300 bucks for the 5hrs of work I did that day btw. All the other requests I received from that add was for music videos and H.S. sport filming :(
Patience and persistence, that is only one wedding, you need to be shadowing and working on 10-20 before you really jump out and off to do your own full time. You need a solid reel then advertising and then slowly but surely the word of mouth will build.
Somehow you knew this is exactly what I needed today. Just finished a Highlight Reel of wedding footage I have shot over the last 18 months. (Would love some feedback if you have 60 seconds to visit my channel) I dropped it on social media, the website etc and have not seen 1 lead off of it yet. I did receive my first deposit for my first "real" wedding shoot in November, so really on cloud nine for that. I had been on the fence whether The Knot or Wedding Wire is worth the investment, but it certainly seems to have paid off for you. Thanks for sharing!

Do you know if there are any websites like that in Australia? The best I can do is advertising on facebook.
Unfortunately, I don't as I never been or had to look for that area, I would join some facebook groups and ask around in the creative community.
Thank you
