I've read the books, I also warn people about the risks. I'm an amateur, not inexperienced. ;) Thanks, Jeff Jonsson -Original Message- From: J. C.

For those about to venture into wedding photography, be careful and buy a few books on it. My wedding photos and planning was much better after some good reading. I also felt compelled to warn the client up front that photography processes are not 100% reliable and there is always a small chance of something going wrong.

I don't, and won't, be the official photographer at a wedding. Since the only weddings we attend are those of friends and relatives, my wedding gift is a set of candids. I always clear what I'm doing with the pro, get his/her okay, and do my best to stay out of their way. I usually know most of the people attending and, for candids, often have a better idea of who/what to look for, and am therefore able to get shots the pro may have missed. Bill

I have done *exactly* the same things the one time I had the opportunity; it was great fun and they liked their present. I also won't be the prime photographer. Kostas

Hi, [...] I also felt compelled to warn the client up front that photography processes are not 100% reliable and there is always a small chance of something going wrong. That way if something did go wrong they would be more willing to accept it. Also, when things went right ( they always did thank God ) they might tend to be a little more thankful for the photos they did get.. be like a surgeon and tell them all the circumstances during the shoot in which they might die. That way when they wake up at the end of it all they'll feel relieved that only the wrong leg has been sawn off. -- Cheers, Bob
