It was just another Saturday for me with two photo sessions scheduled and on the calendar.\u00a0 Around 9:30 a.m. I got a phone call from a concerned maid of honor: “Um, we were wondering if you might be able to help us today.\u00a0 We have a bit of a situation.\u00a0 The photographer who was supposed to photograph my friend’s wedding can’t do it.\u00a0 Are you available?”\u00a0 I was thinking to myself: “no I am not available because I have two sessions already.\u00a0 How could I do two sessions and a last minute wedding?”\u00a0 But then the reality of the bride set in.\u00a0 You have one day — just one day — to capture your wedding.\u00a0 You don’t have do overs, second chances or repeats.\u00a0 I knew I just had to make it work somehow.\u00a0\u00a0 Fortunately, the timing worked so I could do one session in the morning. The second session was with my neighbor and they were so understanding; it all worked out.\u00a0 Incidentally, the original wedding photographer was a friend of the groom, who apparently was feeling “ill.”\u00a0 If you are thinking to hire a friend to shoot your wedding, realize that a wedding is a lot of work and takes a lot of time and energy on the part of the photographer.\u00a0 Even if they are your friend, please have a contract and most importantly, pay them for their services because without those two elements, you may end up without a photographer for your wedding day, and who wants that? Then again, if you find yourself in this situation, you can always call me.\u00a0 If you are lucky, I just might be available. \ud83d\ude09\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n
