I don’t photograph weddings.

I’ve been asked, several times, and offered large amounts of money. I’ve always said no because weddings are stressful. If you miss a shot, it’s gone forever.

I have the highest respect for those who shoot weddings, but I know my limits and know what I’m interested in… Weddings just aren’t on that list.

So you can imagine my surprise when my friend Karl asked if I’d photograph his 25th wedding anniversary and renewal at The Carolina Renaissance Festival, and I heard myself enthusiastically saying yes.

The wedding was beautiful, and I’m really loving how the edits on my photos are coming out. Still have a lot more photos to edit, but so far, I’m glad I said yes.

This doesn’t change anything though. I still have no interest in shooting weddings, but I’m glad I shot ‘this’ wedding.
