Over the past couple of years I have gotten a few calls asking if I did weddings. My answer has always been no. First of all, I don't want that pressure. You have one chance to get it right, no do-overs! Secondly, having absolutely no experience in wedding photography, I don't want to be the one to ruin someones wedding pictures. I have always said that the only way I would ever even consider doing it was if the couple only had two options... it was going to be me or their uncle Bob with his Polaroid Insant camera taking pictures!
Well, I got a great opportunity to finally give it a chance. This couple actually got married over a year ago and due to some things out of their control were unable to have "real" wedding pictures. They didn't want anything elaborate...just a few pictures of them together.
I think if another similar situtation were to come my way where it was a VERY VERY small wedding or they wanted a few pictures after the fact I may do it. It's definetly a change of pace having the person you are taking pictures of actually do what you tell them to do!!
