This thread was never about how good a wedding photographer or as some have mentioned how poor a wedding photographer I am. It was simply intended to show members of the forum something different from my usual sports images I post. That's it. I wasn't using them as a place to launch a new career in wedding photography. I'm not the typical amateur that is just starting out and lists every field of photography as a starting point. I have always considered myself a sports specialist, I am also good at quite in a few other areas, I have to be. So any of the wedding photographers on here that seem bent out of shape because I posted some photos of my son's wedding that you feel are sub par based on what "you" might shoot, well, I don't really care. Could I have done a better job at a wedding if I was being paid to shoot, and hired as a professional by a couple I didn't know, I have no doubt that I could do it as well, or better than most of the critics on here.. Skill in photography, experience in photography, is all it comes down to. Weddings are formulas, I shot all the usual wedding type pictures that are expected, vows, ring exchange, first kiss, signing the papers, setups with family and friends, and what's different from anyone else's wedding photos, all the candid shots that mean more to most people, the kind of photos a person has to see, and not setup some cheesy posed wedding shots, because it's expected.
I'm pretty sure most wedding photographers would agree, the unexpected, the candid shots that no ones sees you shooting are the ones that people enjoy having. Like I said all the rest, same old photos just like other every wedding. I can post those if it makes people happy, but I picked photos that had fun to them, these are the type of pictures I shoot.
Am I wrong with anything I just said?
