After 13+ years of shooting weddings, I like to think I have seen it ALL. Wild bridal party, crazy mother of the bride, high maintenance wedding planner, etc.
However…I have NEVER experienced THIS before! :
- Groomsmen passed out + unresponsive for 30 seconds
- Evacuated ceremony to be put on hold
- Ambulance called
- Guests shouting and screaming
YIKES! Like I said, CRAZY. A lot was at stake after this incident because we were SO behind on our timeline. This incident showed me the POWER that I have as a photographer…I could either sit back and say, “Well, I had no control, look what happened” OR I could choose to be proactive and say “this happened and now what am I going to do about it!?”
In the middle of the chaos of the day, I captured one of my FAVORITE portraits because I chose to be proactive and lead my couple to get the portraits of their dreams, despite being an hour behind of schedule!
In this Youtube episode, you will see how I chose to show up and how I executed this wedding day despite the timeline struggles, the panic of the couple and guests and the sun setting FAST! As a photographer, YOU have the right to step up and step in when it comes to making decisions and giving your clients what they are paying you for!
