Back in the mid-70s, when I shot weddings, I had a divorce at the alter. The groom walked out of the church, just before the ceremony was to begin. It's hard to make those sweaty grooms look good anyway. My other weird experience was a wedding where there were over 40 people in the wedding party. I was using a C330 at the time, and didn't have a lens wide enough to get the whole group in the frame, and still be able to recognize everyone.

But, as for fun, weddings are usually not any fun for the photographer. He/she doesn't really get to participate in any of the fun, and it's a 10 or 12-hour day, if you shoot the reception. It's harder to keep smiling as folks get drunker.

That was the wedding that I decided would be my last one as a photographer. I never had any fun at them anyways. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
