This last weekend was an eye opener!! I had the extreme pleasure of being IN my best friend’s wedding, and the experience from the front side of the lens is a vastly different one, from actually waiting for things to happen to working like a dog in the kitchen!
I was reminded how important it is for the photographer to be in control and confident in order to help the day go smooth and as glitch-free as possible. If you are hiring a NON-PROFESSIONAL to be side-by-side with you on the most important day of your life, don’t go crawling to anyone afterward wishing it was different. Here is what you can expect from the seasoned photographers: 1) ideas! 2) confidence, 3) tact, 4) helpfulness, and 5) well-planned scheduling. Might you value those things?
