Send us Fan MailIn this week’s photography podcast, we are talking about something kinda hilarious and also something 100% meant for the introverted over thinkers of the photography world: How are you supposed to act when you’re shooting a wedding? Or worse, what if you act weird at a wedding? Want to know some awkward things I've done at weddings? Of course you do! Snapped at My Husband Once During a Cake CuttingTold a Bride a Photo Wasn’t Possible Because I Misunderstood HerCalled the Bride the Wrong Name. Eek!Last Weekend? Called the Groom the Wrong NameFell into a Sewer OpeningGot Caught in Insane Traffic and The Venue Had No Service Wore a White Maxi Dress with Pink FlowersAnd honestly? That’s Just the Tip of the Iceberg! Want to know this episode in one quote? Wonderful! You know I've got you!Shooting is like anything - sometimes, you’re going to be a bit of an awkward weirdo. Other times? People just aren’t going to 100% get you. A bride’s aunt will almost definitely not have the same feelings about wedding photography that a bride does but that doesn’t mean one perspective is right or wrong, it’s that different people have different personalities and different goals. And that’s beautiful! Every photographer is going to bring their own energy into the wedding day and, honestly some of the things we do ARE weird. It’s the nature of the job. Just own it!
