[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 321805, member: 9240"] As for shooting weddings, all I can say is that I've learned from my brother. He has shot in every type of stressful situation there is, and goes back for more. He's shot one wedding. Just one. It was my cousin's and done as a favor to my Uncle Bob, who is the only brother or sister of either of our parents we ever really knew (my Dad lost 4 siblings before he was born in Russia during the Stalin era, my mom has a brother that married whack-job from VA, moved to UT and disappeared until I was in my 40's). At the end of the day, he walked up to him, gave him a big kiss and said, "This is how much I love you, because I swore I'd never do it, but I did. You've got 4 other daughters - don't ask me again." LOL For all the craziness, I did enjoy shooting the party, if only because it's something I don't normally do. But I could/would never do this normally. I'm just glad I'm able to get them some things. Unfortunately, when you're shooting in parallel with the "pro" the people aren't always looking at you - though that does make for some nice looks at times. [/QUOTE]
