Stacey & Joe's Wedding

General Disclaimer: I was not the Official Photographer for the Wedding, I just happened to be present with my camera. ALSO: There're going to be a number of similar photos in this set so I included the image file number for those who are interested.

Now, as one might have guessed, being a guest and being polite by staying in my seat meant I only had one real camera angle to be shooting from. This also has a lot to do with the general repetition of image. Still, I imagine having more then one of the same image is preferable to having only one. Especially when its your wedding.

It was a Rider themed wedding in case you didn't catch on for some reason...

Of course, some photos look just as awesome in colour as they do in black and white...

As a quick aside, I think I do owe another minor explanation about these photos. So... As a general rule I don't shoot weddings. I really don't want to deal with any potential "Bridezillas" out there and the market has a glut of wedding photographers (some good, some bad) as it is already. Combine that with me not having access to all the equipment I would want for shooting a wedding and, yeah, I'll stick to sports, (other) event, portrait and landscape/macro photography.

With that being said though I couldn't help but feel extremely frustrated for the bride and groom at this wedding. When we were going through the receiving line Stacey told us how their Photographer cancelled on them the day before the wedding. They were able to get someone else, thankfully, but how bad a form is that? I wasn't given the details but I honestly don't see any excuse besides "I found out I'm dying from the disease of death and will be dead tomorrow... but don't worry I booked another better photographer for you in my absence" as being valid. There are few things which could be more frustrating on a wedding day. Even a bad photographer is better then none. POOR, poor form.

Anyweather, once I heard this even though I knew they already had another photographer I wanted to make certain they had access to as many photos out there as possible, even if some of them are not exactly c'est magnifique. Plus, y'know, posting and taking photos is fun!

But that's that for now, so we'll see you next time!
