13 Things I've Learned Latley
1. That sleeping at a Holiday Inn Express doesn't make you a wedding photographer, it takes a lot more effort than that.
2. Camera equipment is expensive! And I like expensive equipment and it does make a difference. And I'd like to have some.
3. That being the oldest of 5 children was great preparation for Photographing a wedding and telling people where to go and what to do and how to do it!
4. That when you are the photographer you don't have time to eat any CAKE!! (and we all know that is the main reason I go to weddings is for the cake!)
5. It is hard to photograph children.
6. Two photographers are better than one. And the other one will take a picture of you when you have sweat-ed buckets and look like the wicked witch of the west. Thank you son, NOT. Always have a back up plan.
7. Beautiful people are easier to take pictures of than not so beautiful people.
8. That you my friends and family have much more confidences in me than I have in myself and I appreciate that. God does hear and answers prayers, thank heavens!
9. Photographers charge a lot of money because it is stressful and hard work and it's not even over after you have taken the pictures. You have to prepare the pictures for printing and viewing and delivering the goods. Weddings are expensive, elope! Save the money for a down payment on a home.
10. I like being on the other side of the camera better than having my picture made.
11. To say "say cheese" after about the 4th time becomes lame. Saying "say hairy pickles" or "on the count of 3" is better but I really need some help with that part.
12. That one should think about getting married in the winter in Alabama and not the middle of July, just sayin...
13. That 1013 miles round trip is a long way to drive to take pictures unless you are going there anyway or you love your nephew as much as I do. Love you both, Ashton and Annie.
14. I know I said 13 things, but this is my blog and I can have 14 things. I AM SO OVER THIS WEDDING, I'm done!
15. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOTTIE, I LOVE YOU! (hush it up, I can have 15 too)
Thank you all for your patience! Peace Out.
