Giving the customers exactly what they want is the purpose of wedding photography. I enjoyed the Russian site for its comedy and cleverness too. That does not make it memorable nor a substitute for the desired results. Maybe an extra shot or two in this vein might be a fun addition, certainly. Can you share examples of your work showing cleverness and memorable character, while still achieving what the client wanted? Using Google, I couldn't find any images attributed to you at all.

Which ones will we remember? Well, you are in business , so ya gotta give the customers the pictures they want, however banal they may be.

Usually during any Tea Room ceremony at least one howling monkey decides to cut in and express their views. This time the animals were quiet, perhaps attending their noon time naps. > > Ending images were on Canal St at the Ritz Carlton. > > www.zoeicaimages.com/Carmen&Rick > > > Gimme a shout out when you get tired of looking at weddings, there only 20 or more left for the year. > > Chris > NOLA > > > > > _______________________________________________ > _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
