Even though it wasn’t my NORMAL scenario for a wedding, I found myself really digging deep into what it takes to photograph a wedding day WELL, even when it’s not the typical KJ Style. 

 

I actually don’t think I’m the only photographer who has found themselves shooting something they didn’t resonate with.

Today, I am sharing 4 tips with you on how to handle challenging situations and still give your clients an experience that is going to work in your favor, leave them talking about you and make them truly feel loved and taken care of!
