Share some wedding photography horror stories.
There was a case where the photographer seemed professional at first. But when the couple got the photos back, half of them were out of focus. Turns out the photographer's equipment was faulty, but he didn't check properly before the shoot. It was a disaster as those pictures were supposed to be cherished memories for a lifetime.
I know of a couple who hired a well - recommended photographer. However, during the ceremony, the photographer kept getting in the way of the guests and the officiant. He was so focused on getting the perfect shot that he disrupted the flow of the wedding. And to top it off, the final pictures had a strange color tint that made everyone look sickly.
Can you share some typical amateur wedding photography horror stories?
Sure. One is that an amateur might use the wrong settings for the group photos. So you end up with some people in focus and others blurry. It's a disaster for a big family photo. Another is when the amateur forgets to turn off the flash in a church where flash photography is not allowed. It can create a lot of awkwardness and also disrespect the place.
What are the most common wedding photography horror stories?
A very common one is bad editing. For example, the photographer over - softened the skin to the point where the couple looked like plastic dolls. Another is the wrong settings used, like a very low shutter speed which made all the action shots blurry. And sometimes, the photographer just has a really bad sense of composition and the pictures end up looking really unappealing.
What are some amateur wedding photography horror stories?
There are several horror stories. For example, an amateur photographer didn't have enough memory cards. Mid - way through the wedding, the card got full and they had to start deleting old pictures to make room for new ones. This led to some precious moments being lost. Also, some amateurs don't communicate well with the couple. They might miss out on specific shots the couple really wanted, like a photo with a particular family member. And then there are those who don't understand the flow of a wedding. They end up in the wrong place at the wrong time and miss key events.

One horror story is when a client asked for a very specific outdoor shoot.
