For reasons of my own, I prefer not to take on Photography as a working professional, meaning “photographer for hire”. One of those reasons is that I’d then have to think primarily of the customer’s satisfaction, and for events that have so many “moving parts” where anything and everything can go wrong, guaranteeing that you come out of the event with photos that the customer will love is probably impossible.
But, IF I were to do events such as Weddings, it would be for the photos that I see, my vision… as such, I only shoot weddings for Family and friends, and even then I encourage them to get someone else to be the primary photog, mainly so that they can take the blame for the “missed” shots 😀
Every so often I come out of a wedding knowing that I’d gotten what I thought of as a great shot, for me anyway. At Alisia and Sammy’s wedding I think I came away with two that I considered great, but this one that I am sharing here, is what I like to think of as “my type” of photograph 🙂

I had done an article regarding Shooting Weddings for the GuyanaPhotographers.com page, if you’re interested, you can give it a read. 🙂

Not having to satisfy customers (thus having only yourself to please) is the most important reason of all 🙂
Probably true 🙂
