I'm going to tell a secret. I'm pretty new to photography and VERY new to shooting weddings. But when I talk to client leads I speak like I'm super knowledgeable and experienced because I want them to feel like they can trust me.
The second wedding I ever shot (and the first wedding that wasn't advertised for free on craigslist by me) was the mom's little brother (click HERE to see a the crazy perfect snowfall and red bridesmaids dresses) and I actively tried to hide it, but I was terrified. When one of his bridesmaids contacting me afterward saying she loved the photos and wanted me to shoot her adorable family, that was the affirmation I needed to make my heart swell.
Her daughter is 5 and his son is 3. When trying to get pictures of the two kids, I told the sister to give her brother a big hug from behind. She obeyed but her brother, displeased, turned around and hit her. She looked and me with those big blue eyes morosely and I felt morally culpable. Her little brother is such a daddy's boy and protested anytime he was separated from his father. The dad was the best photoshoot help though because he chased him around and held him upside-down and just kept his little boy genuinely laughing.
Thank you so much for boosting my confidence back in January and trusting me again in the spring. I couldn't imagine a sweeter group of people to serve
