This bride did not want to look like "royalty." In fact, she and her fiancé got really ticked off at the "wedding photographer" who was doing her best to make them look like that. This bride had already hired a "traditional" 2 1/4 wedding photographer when she saw an album of my stuff - which, truth be told, she then 'bought me' at a charity event where I had donated my services. She specifically bought me because she wanted what I shoot - NOT the traditional Cinderella crap. If a bride wants to be Cinderella, then by all means she should hire a photographer who's into turning silk purses into sows ears - or whatever. But given your repeated arguing with me about what my client - who you've never met, never heard of, and know absolutely nothing about, wants, I can't help but wonder how much you really listen to your clients when they tell you want they want. ;-) - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of JCB Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2003 5:11 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] re: most important person at a wedding?

The mother doesn't want to see her real self, so make sure you Photoshop her extensively. And make sure the bride looks like royalty. If you do.... $$$$$$$$$ Also, I've seen weddings shot journalistically. They were just OK. The clients liked the photographs, but in the end, missed having the traditional photographs. There should have been two photographers. One shooting traditional Hasselblad and the other shooting reportage Leica.
