    So I emailed a relative last night who does wedding photography for a living. He's agreed to let me shadow him at weddings on the 13th and 16th of June as a third, free photographer :) (who could say no to that anyway?). And it'll probably help me know what I want at my own wedding. I never want to have to photograph another photographer's wedding, haha. Poor Ron.

    I've kinda figured that after I get my degree, wedding photography is my best bet for earning money (it's cheaper to get started and pays good), so I think I'll start my own business in that. I just need to get experience, since I've only been to four weddings in all my life. The good thing is, I'll have been in the bride's shoes before I do this :D

    Anyways, I was just excited about that ^_^

    The problem with weddings is you only get one shot at it. If you screw up, people might hate you the rest of their lives. There's no fixing it.

    I think I could handle it though ;)

    yes true.. u got one shot one time to capture a moment that could last for ever in a photograph.. so is still a preasure in a big way.. but id rather have that kind of preasure than having hundred ppl harrasing me lol
