1) they are lots and lots of work
2) there are lots of people involved in the shoot to corral and get all smiling with eyes open before they make it to the free bar.
3) there just seems to be too much pressure knowing that this is this woman's shining moment that I am documenting and there are no reshoots.
And now I am glad I went for it. I really had a lot of fun - the family and friends of these two were amazing to meet and mingle with. The wedding was simple and elegant and absolutely beautiful.

There was actually another photographer at the event, and he kept telling me where I could and could not stand/walk/shoot while he directed groups of people and posed them awkwardly.
The bride loved my take on group photos.




Congratulations you two! I have a great feeling about this!
