A photographer's assistant is either called a "Second Shooter" or an "Assistant" depending on if their job is to hold/take care of the equipment or actually take photos at the wedding.
It depends on the type of photographer. Studio and social photographers (including wedding photographers) often start by becoming assistants to professional photographers. The work is usually poorly paid as the assistant is gaining valuable experience. Landscape photographers, often start by submitting work to magazines and calandars. Wildlife photographers usually start out with an interest in wildlife - the work requires such long periods of waiting and hardship that a passion for the subject is required. Press photographers usually start working on local papers doing freelance work.
