Yet, I always make a point to my friends who invite me that I am not going to try to deliver any special or definite photographic content. That is, I am going to be snapping around and if anything comes through, I'd be glad to give it to them. No promises made. As far as I can tell from my own wedding and from those that I've been invited to, I wouldn't want to be the official photog - too much pressure and work. No offense here to those who do shoot weddings - it is just that *I* don't think I could do it.
