Shot one at a vineyard that looked like the Alamo or hotel California I'm particularly pleased with this image because of the technical execution. I have off camera flash all over the place, low camera left, high camera right, and backlit, the building lighting was really difficult. Posing the people in the image was a pain because half of them had attitudes and the BRIDE really wanted the shot. So I went with directing them all to look completely disinterested, look anywhere but at the couple, and then told the couple to kiss. Worked like a charm

Good looking pic but there is NO way I could put up with the crap some brides are able to dish out to make THEIR day perfect. You have alot more tolerance then I am capable of.

Bride's aren't really that bad. TV makes it seem much worse. Most of them are nervous as hell and very low maintnenance. Most are nice and polite, some carry a lot of stress if they haven't hired a planner but they settle down pretty quickly. I've only had one Bridezilla and it had nothing to do with the wedding, she was just fuckin' mean. I can handle most of 'em. There's not much I haven't seen at this point so I help them settle down and that everything will be just fine.

It's funny that the most fundamental thing escapes just about every single bride on wedding day. I always tell them "look, nothing happens without you, there's nothing to worry about" usually turns out well
