I love this, quite playful but still tender. Is this actually from a wedding, cause if it is I've heard that it's a good starter place for a beginner photographer, true?

They are very very wrong! Weddings a re incredibly hard work, not mention the months of planning with the couple, you almost act as a wedding coordinator as well as the photographer, you must have a second shooter, and you have to know how to pose everyone for those traditional family, bridal party and groomsmen photos, it's a ton of stress for one day, I've been shooting weddings for 4 years and I'm still learning, weddings are the worst place to start!

Well it depends. what type of photography are you interested in? Portraits? Fashion? Modeling? Couples? Families? photo journalism of people? Nature?
what kind of camera do you have?

A Canon EOS 1100D, no fancy add ons or anything since I don't have enough money at the moment. I want to do abit of everything but mostly people in general, anything from couples to portraits to modeling, and maybe some nature.

I honestly would say start with shooting your friends, get a feel for aperture, shutter speed and ISO, tell then just to sit and chill, even read a book if they want while you photograph them, I always make sure when I'm doing test shoots to get their eyes in the photo, have them look directly at the camera, and if they eyes are properly exposed THEN you can move on the checking out if the whole photo is properly exposed! Do NOT be afraid to underexpose or overexpose, I like to overexpose a lot, because that is my own personal style, don't let anyone tell you that your photo isn't properly exposed if you intended it to be that way. Some of the most beautiful photographs are not "exposed correctly" but that's what makes them beautiful.
