1. Wedding photographers never get paid enough
2. If using 2 cameras, make sure the time is the same on both otherwise when all the photos come together they are out of sequence
3. Its really quite hard when its all in black and white, even more so under a bright tropical sun
4. Don't let guests borrow your camera: the images that come out of it, while entertaining, aren't going to help make your reputation as a talented photographer
5. Wedding photographers never get paid enough
Anyway, to Kosta and Skye - hope you have a blast!

P.S. Some guest have a certain attitude. Take Glen here, holding a knife with a beer in one hand, in a "you'll never take me alive copper" attitude. Disturbingly, in every photo I have of Glen he is holding/drinking/finishing/buying another bottle of beer. Even more disturbing is that Glen is one of the few Mental Health workers on the island. He certainly does wonders for my mental health

P.P.S. Actually Glen is a really nice guy and fun to have drinks with. Just keep him away from the cutlery and anything sharp

ReplyDeleteThanks Jessica. A good start list, but still missing some of my lessons. The fill in flash in sunny situations they advise works but adds a silvery bright tone to photos that I usually try and avoid
