Wedding photo winners announced
Wedding photography is an extremely difficult genre - get it wrong, and you ruin the one chance a couple has to have photographic memories of the happiest day in your life.
As a professional photographer, there is nothing that worried me more than somehow screwing up the photos - because it all meant so much, the tension is extremely high. That’s probably why I only ever photographed two weddings. And why I have so much admiration for the people who standhaftily manage to keep their cool and take amazing photos under such pressure!

That is one of the few pieces of advice my high school photography teacher gave me… Never photograph weddings =p

Weddings are extremely hard to photograph, and it’s alot of responsibility. However, it’s a good chance to learn the journalistic style of photography. It’s even more challenging than street photography, mostly because it’s indoors, and there’s never enough light.

Our wedding “photographer” was a woman my mother-in-law knew who owed my MIL a favor. All during the reception, she kept dropping her cameras — a bad sign. It took us close to a year to get the pictures from her and then they were all total crap. The only good picture we got was one a friend took just for fun with his point-and-shoot. So, yeah, there’s a lot of responsibility involved.
