Your best bet is to just stick your camera on program and hope

Did she rent a piano and arbitrarily enlist someone to learn to play?

So the boss is thinking the photographer (also a friend of the groom's mom) will be no better, so she wants backup. (And also a photographer of her own to pull around by the nose)

OH phew! Man, dood. I thought you were pretty much fookt!

Ok. The last thing you're going to want to do is piss off the guy who knows what he or she is actually doing, leave the lights at home, pack up your baby flash, take some snaps and stay out of the way of the professional. For one thing, you don't want to distract him or her from doing their job.

From what I'm hearing your job is to placate a nervous and possibly controlling inlaw. I'm pretty sure that is what every father-of-the-bride's job is. Just let her think you're on top of things and when it's all over just say "man, that pro was good!"

Just relax, have some beers. If there is already a designated professional, then you really do not need to sweat it. Think of it as a good opportunity to practice. The grooms mom doesn't need to know that you don't really know what you're doing.

Oh, and I concur. Return the lights.

I'm not missing I'm right here idiot as I be with the light boxes but hell on wheels in other things........

And I appreciate the advice although it wasn't what I wanted to hear (of course). I'm going to keep these lights because some other women are going to be here and God knows women want things to LOOK like it's something special even if it aint so they can ooooo and aaaaaaahhhhhh at the lights and then they will think the pics are great hehehehe.

Yall takin all the fun outta this!

OK I'm a novice, I appreciate the advice, if any of yall ever decide you are man enough to brave actually trying to cook something lemme know I can show you about boiling eggs and don't go buy Ostrich eggs to start out!

I love to cook! I once had a 5 star chef tell my my Bechamel sauce was better than his!

 

[YoBenny]

I love to cook too started before you could surf the web for 40,000 variations of Mac & Cheese and have a star show you how to mix it.......

I did win a recipe contest and got to cook on Emeril Live in NYC once but other than that and a handful of chili and gumbo trophies I pretty much cook hard core Cajun food or New Orleans Creole or some decent Italian ocassionally Tex_Mex and I aint never HEARD of no baycamel - whut? - bechamel? WTH? don't you mean butter oil and hot cream? You caint go around sayin Bechamel dude you sound like an Amateur!!!

One thing I am DEFINITELY going to enjoy doing with this camera is doing cooking pictorials that I have been doing with a point and shoot for some time.

You can see the food, but not like what this thing will do for sure.

Looks good! Loves me some Cajun, and I grew up on TexMex! Make pretty decent red chili gravy! I usually only make the Bechamel sauce for my Moussaka!

The courteous thing would be to ask the hired photographer if it's ok for you to shadow him/her.

I just put in the oven a batch of banana muffins. When cooled they are topped with a cream cheese, marscapone, and honey frosting with walnuts sprinkled on top.

Had hand ground burgers for lunch with a wonderful bit of pink inside instead of those over cooked things you have to have when using store bought ground chuck.

 

[YoBenny]

I tossed some thighs in a casserole with butternut squash onions garlic bell peppers and spread fire roasted tomatoes over them cover bake till the house smells good.

This coming Thursday, (along with trying to take photographs) Im doing steak Da Bobs Veggie Ka Bobs and Shrimp Ke Bobs Mediterranean salad with kalamata anchovy tapenade and basil pesto vinaigrette and finishing with Bananas Foster luckily it all preps ahead except the foster and it's fun for people to watch you making it with all the flaming vittles and all, (Flambe to all you sophisticated folk and Flambeaux to Cajuns)

You may want to tell your ... uhm? Sister in law? No... uhh.... anyway ... that you are uncomfortable doing this, and that you'll try, but really strongly advise hiring a professional.

hell man, point her in the direction of some cheap fauxtographer, offer to split the cost and when **** hits the fan let him or her take the fall.

Amen brother
