Photography Lessons Learned The Hard Way

When my husband and I got our proofs back we were shocked to discover that about 25% of them, including significant parts of the wedding, had chemical spots. It looked like we had the chicken pox or were on an episode of Ghost Whisperer. The photographer also forgot to bring the shot list so my brother had to stand by and direct everyone (which he was good at but it was a pain) and some of the key pictures I wanted never were taken. SO - my advise is 1. Bring an extra copy of the shot list and 2. consider going digital or having friends double up. I also recommend changing your expectations to having more candid pictures instead of formal portraits in case things don't work out. - Tina
