I do, I do!
There's just something about it that reveals how very differently we humans are from person-to-person.. How we operate, how we respond to things.. I love it. It's the ultimate 'people watching.'
I'm going through the most recent wedding's images and they make me laugh, smile, shake my head, even get a little indignant... Weddings, ah weddings.

Yup.
Of all the photo jobs I do, I probably do more weddings than anything else.

I'm shooting an engagement party tomorrow, actually, and a wedding next weekend.
I love shooting weddings. I really believe that it's an honor and blessing to be invited to take part in such a big day for couples. Sure, weddings have big risks and headaches and PITA-people, but once I get into my groove at the wedding, I am so happy and relaxed.

At a wedding, everyone is happy and well dressed. What could be better?

Everyone is pretending to be happy.

scared senseless to even try.

Besides having the technical skills, I think it is important to feel the fun and be enthusiastic on the job. One tends to be more creative when feeling happy around the people. A jovial spirit is contageous. It will add that extra something in the air, and translate into the results. The opposite dominates when that magic is missing. It is amazing how one's work reflects one's state of mind.

I turn down weddings on a regular basis.

I have found shooting weddings to be a very intense experience. I don't do it often, and only for good friends. Definitly a pressure situation. I do believe that evey photographer should shoot at least one wedding to see what its like, its good experience. I shoot B+W photojournalistic style.

Have done it in the past. Great on the financial side but for the rest I positively hate it. The irony is that I'm rather good at it. After the first few word spread and I got more and more requests. Last one was some years ago and at least a bit interesting. Two women who married, 30 b&w MF FA prints, presented matted in a box. But it's definetely not my idea of fun.
When after 22 years together we decided to marry ourselves last year not one photo was made. That's how much I hate it. My wife is just the same although she still does floral arrangements on weddings on occasion (she's a master florist).
