[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 343751, member: 3903"] RocketMan, I just want to let you know that what you've described has happened many many times to other photographers. In my previous life, when I was young, I shot over 500 weddings, all with medium format (Hasselblad, Pentax 6x7) and I can tell you that not all weddings were a picnic. Some went fine while others were just Pain in the A**. When you make a living with photography, you've got to go with the flow. No point in trying to swim against the current. It's life, what can I tell you. I've had ugly brides and grooms, this is what I found the most difficult, next to lousy weather. Weddings in the winter with snow or rain is not particularly easy to deal with. So, you can only do your best with the circumstances, period. If this makes you unhappy, do as I did, find something else to put bread on the table and let photography become a hobby. But if you let time pass, you'll just forget about this unhappy experience and I hope you will have better settings and weddings to shoot that will let you be happy about your work. All the best.
