Can you share some typical amateur wedding photography horror stories?
An amateur photographer once showed up late to a wedding. By the time they got there, they missed the pre - ceremony shots of the bride getting ready. Also, there are those who don't know how to handle different skin tones. They might over - expose or under - expose the skin of the people in the photos, making them look unnatural. And some amateurs just don't have the skills to capture candid moments well. So all the pictures look very posed and lack the real emotion of the day.
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.
