I was excited. I as OK to do it. Then I was told that there would be throw away cameras at the center of every table for the guests to use. Gee they fly me out there then I'm dog meat. I respectfully passed on it. I believe there was a time in the late 70's early 80's when you'd be better off with your friends and sure shots as a wedding photographer that would would not systematically ruin your wedding were impossible to find. But you could find them. Now its hard to find one who doenst what to shoot the whole affair in infra red and they've got nose piercings!
