I shot a very Catholic wedding yesterday. They’re always so hard to do because the preacher is always a douche and always makes me sit in a balcony. It’s a pointless request, because once the wedding starts, I always just go back downstairs anyway. The couple paid me to get photos, you know?
Shots like the one above, though, make me feel like my method isn’t commercial enough to start doing this full-time. There are always photos I take at weddings that I feel like I have to take, but it’s only shots like these that interest me. The church was building a pipe organ at the balcony and these ropes swayed twenty feet above to the ceiling and about thirty feet below to the ground.
Catholic churches are always so scary to me.

I have experienced the same thing with video. You would think the bride and groom would stand up to them. If I was paying someplace to have a wedding there, I would tell them I want the people documenting the occasion to have free reign or I will take my business somewhere else.
