    First wedding: I survived

    Learned a lot today...and one of those thing is I DON'T want to be a wedding photographer!

    it wasn't even the people, it wasn't the ridiculous combinations of lighting situations, it wasn't even how "on" you have to be the whole time or the endless hours of walking around...it was other rude "photographers" that are "friends of the family" that have no courtesy or social graces...

    still confused...here's a pic of what I'm talking about. This guy was told he needed to stay out of my way by the bride and groom and well...figure it out for your selves.

    every groomsman shot is screwed up by him calling people off to the side...using a GIANT flash that obliterated details in a lot of shots and he was "setting up" "better" shots after I had already positioned everyone...he was unbelievable...etc etc...

    but overall---him aside it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought he was going to be...the rest of the shots were some of my favs...and they have been tweaked and loved to my tastes...Enjoy
