I had the priviledge of photographing a wedding on Saturday. I always get excited about weddings! This one was,for me, a bit of a learning experience. I was hired at the last minute, actually, the night before the wedding. The two grandmothers were originally planning to take the photos! They got there and realized that this idea was not a good one and I was hired to shoot the wedding.
So, you may ask, why didn't they hire someone to begin with? Well, as with many weddings, they were trying to save money! Knowing this, I offered my least expensive package which is just one hour of photography...just the basics. What I learned is that this didn't work! Everyone was asking me to take photos of this and that and their family, etc...etc... Then there was the lady who "used to be a photographer's assistant." She was telling the bride what photos she just HAD to have! Well, I'm not good at telling people "NO". So, I worked for FOUR hours and got paid for ONE. Lesson learned. I'm just chalking it up to experience. I can use the photos for my portfolio and will hopefully get more sales than what was included in the package.
I LOVE WEDDINGS!!!
