As a professional wedding photographer, there are two important things
to remember, no matter who you're shooting for: 1) your bride and groom
are more nervous about having their pictures taken than you are about
taking them, and 2) set aside your personal life, because their special
day is not about you. Every day is a learning experience out in the
field, and I aim to take full advantage of the lessons each new person
may offer. I am a firm believer that formal education is important, but
the only way to discover your strengths and weaknesses is through trial
and error – of which there are many opportunities during a face-to-face
encounter with clients. You will go far if you know the technical
aspects of photography, but those technicalities should never impede
your desire to deliver the best possible experience; after all, no
matter how good your photography, if your client does not have a good
time with you, they won’t care whether you know how to use a camera or
not. Lastly, the following quote describes the most important aspect to
photography: "I think a photography class should be a requirement,
because it makes you see the world, rather than just look at it. " –
