While enjoying the thread about Steve in Spain, I was struck by deep feeling expressed about wedding photography. I've never done it, so feel I'm missing something.
What makes it difficult for many photographers to enjoy shooting weddings? Does it require a certain personality to thrive doing this? Can you share a war story or two to illustrate the joys and/or pains of doing wedding photography?
I appreciate gaining insight here, especially since a friend may be asking me to shoot their child's wedding later this year (should I embrace - or run away - from this "opportunity"?).
Thank you!
