JerryPH and others already know how much I hate shooting weddings so this will be a fun thread to follow for the future posts.
lol.. Opposite from you, I absolutely LOVE shooting weddings, having done it 4 times as a 2nd photographer with a pro. I also worked my touchass off before that to be as ready as possible. There is no word in the dictionary as to how much stress it really is once you realize how much is riding on your skills.
There are not many possible outcomes, it will either be good... or bad. If good, people post back and show a few pics. If bad, they traditionally never even post here again. There was one that I recall came back to "boast" a little and told us how we were all wrong and gave bad advice, etc... and posted 2 of the most terrible pictures of a wedding I have ever seen. In their case, they would have been more successful using an etch-a-sketch instead of a dSLR... lol
For me, personally, I wish people would do a little more research and be honest about their skills. It really isn't about the photographer, it is about the bride and groom getting what they deserve on this once in a lifetime event. A wedding is incredibly important and for me, I know what I feel when I look at my mediocre wedding pics a few years later. I just want to *****-slap that photographer for his lack of skill.
In this case, I am kinda looking forward to hearing back about the results and maybe seeing 1-2 pictures. MrsMoo (lol @ that name), shows hints of some interestingly positive potential.
