Your wedding day is your day. It is not the photographer's day. This is the day that almost every bride has dreamed of and planned for and fantasized for most of her life. It is a day you want to experience completely and fully. It is a day for you to cry and laugh and play and be solemn and serious and giggle and whoop and scream and kick up your heels. In plain and ordinary terms--this is the day you want to have a ball! This is not the day you want to spend much time posing under the direction of some stranger with a camera and a list. It is your day and your guy's day and by golly, this is a day to live--not pose endlessly according to some list of “ideal” wedding pictures. If you allow your wedding to become a photo session , here is what will happen. You will arrive at your wedding excited and happy. You will be ready for a great and exciting day. Then you will pose for pictures according to a list for five minutes (or maybe fifteen). After this little photo session you will be slightly less excited and happy. The flow of your wedding has been interrupted by the list. Soon, you will be directed into another posing session for another five to fifteen minutes, again going down this list. Once more the flow of your wedding has stopped. After the third or fourth photo session--still long before the actual ceremony--you start to get tired of this stuff. After all, you want to be with your friends having fun. Right? But the posing doesn't stop. On and on and on your wedding is directed by the list. |
