Hey everyone, thanks for your comments, it’s very reassuring to know I’m not alone, especially in my clumsiness! Redmum, that’s a class story and I totally know where you’re coming from with the praying that people would just act as if nothing had happened. Christina, I couldn’t agree more, this couple was perfect for that in fact, they were totally up for whatever I wanted to do and we had a brilliant time.

I was laughing on the inside and smiling on the outside while reading this post. Brilliant! I love that you have the guts to admit what we are all secretly feeling. But it is such a good buzz no matter what happens. And the nearly tripping and taking someone out…totally been there! As wedding photograhers we are always in a rush to get the next shot. I think we need to find a way to slow down sometimes. We need to get couples who trust us to be more creative and not necessarily get every must have shot!

Love it Claire. You are spot on. It’s exhausting but when you get shots as good as the two above it can make it all worth it.

Keep it up and keep the posts coming.

probably my favorite post so far…
Even though I sort of prefer the one’s with that rowdy young un who smiles for the camera.

Ha brilliant, everything you say is spot on, particularly with the telepathy bit as you have to not only anticipate a shot but also sometimes will it to happen.

I’m glad you stayed upright unlike me recently. I was taking pics at a commemoration event a couple of weeks ago with a procession of people and a lone piper. I ran ahead to get a shot of everyone coming up behind the piper when I fell on a slippy paving stone in the worst, hardest, legs and arms askew and in the most ungainly way possible ahead of everyone. The piper was passing me asking me was I alright while still managing to play and all I could think of was a). please ignore that just happened b). my knee is fecking killing me and c). man down or not keep things going.

The other thing is that I somehow managed to fall hard on my knee and the last part of me to touch the ground (and I mean touch) was my hand with the camera! At least I managed, somehow, to keep the camera up in the air. Thank God for that.

Glad to see you’re back, more please. (Oh yeah I love the shots )

I love it, just the sort of shot I would be chuffed with – including the movement

Nice to see someone else’s thought process is about as coherent as mine, mostly what you said about the falling over sounds scarily familiar…!
