#WHATSHOULDWECALLWEDDINGPHOTOGRAPHY

Owning a photography business like

Me in a coffin: “No, you don’t understand, I can’t be DEAD, I have to finish FOUR galleries by Friday”

When my second says that I handled that really obnoxious MOG well

When other photographers are scared of that one dark dark darrrrk venue

When a dude with a sunset pic profile photo says my images are “barely adequate”

When the couple says: “Oh, BTW, the venue has us sign in the contract that we need to have you give them all the photos to use, so could you do that today? Thanks!”

Oh, hey, what a coincidence! I have a clause in MY contract that I get all the venue’s chairs, and that the venue coordinator has to come to my house every Friday to vacuum! Tell her 11am would be great, thank youuuuu!

When an inquiry balks at my price

When you hear the DJ making an unexpected annoucement

Driving home under a freaking **magical** sunset that the couple would *NOT* go out and do photos with

When I see the shots of the couple that the DJ insisted on taking “for his website”

When the same dude walks in front of my shot *AGAIN*

When the dad walking the bride down the aisle *knows* he supposed to stop mid aisle for a moment to allow for a photo

He never does. EVER.

When the initially grumpy dude hugs me (!) at the end of the session and thanks me for making it fun

“Sorry for being a douchebag at first, I was just nervous. But you made it really fun. I appreciate it.”

When the venue owner “helpful” suggests that I do group photos in the gazebo

When I’m seconding an inspiration strikes

When uncle bob tries to follow us outside for golden hour photos
