At my stepson's wedding a couple of years ago, the lucky bride's
family hired a highly-acclaimed, nearly famous (and very
expensive) wedding photographer. He was of the Hasselblad and
Nikon variety, complete with assistants with radio-controlled
flashes for backlighting, etc. And the end product was, I have to
admit, absolutely outstanding. Absolutely no digital anything.
But he took almost exactly 240 shots from beginning to end.
However, by the time all this was finished, many of us, especially
those who were ready to start drinking (more) and partying
seriously, were ready to kick the SOB's butt. Besides, he was a
little bit annoying. (Apparently considered himself a bit of a
comedian.)
Anyway, I have to observe and opine that if you can get a wedding
party to hold still for 1000 pictures, you must be either shooting
with a motor drive stuck on "sequence" (or the digital
equivalent), or these people are heavily sedated. Or maybe you're
just one smooth dude and they want to make you happy and keep you
around. I would need to see this for myself to decide.
When's your next wedding shoot?
