Erika and Tom – Tie the Knot
The more I shoot, the more I realize anyone can take a picture. Every wedding I see more and more family and friends firing away with their handy dandy DSLRs, and more power to everyone. In fact I’m always willing to throw a tip or two out to Uncle Bob. Anyways, what I’m trying to say is that great cameras are easily accessible to everyone and almost anyone can get a few great images. But what I think makes a great photographer is how you make people feel while you are shooting them. Make them smile. Make them forget you are “taking their soul only to be frozen in time for everyone to see”. Making people feel comfortable is more important than F-stops, fancy cameras, and photoshop. So the next time you take someone’s photograph. Don’t say “cheese”. Say something to make them smile. Enjoy.
