That said, I am not good at posing people, so if someone wants me to do a wedding, I urge them to hire someone who specializes in them. I recently had a long-time friend ask me to shoot her wedding, and I tried to get her to use a wedding guy. SHe told me she wanted me to do it, my way. I agreed, and compromised a little bit with several posed shots, though I was uncomfortable doing that. It did have a happy ending, except we have no shot of them cutting the cake, because I had blended into the crowd so much that they forgot to call me to the other room. P.S. They liked the pics.
