Well I know it’s been a while since I teased this post but better late than never. I’m sure so many of you were sitting around distraught because I hadn’t finished my thought. Well today is your day!….also….you may want to get out more. :)
When Cosby and I were photographing Matt and Pooja’s wedding Coz was shooting from his usual “Stalker Like” perch near the front and I was at the back. We were both shooting the bridal party as they entered and I later realized that he had a little better view of the scene than I did. Not normally a problem except for the fact that my goofy head was in some of his shots because I didn’t realize I was in his way. It wasn’t a major problem for their wedding but I wanted to take steps to remedy that for our weddings in the future so we have began using radios to communicate while shooting weddings.
I had considered doing this earlier but I was hesitant because I didn’t want to look like Jennifer Lopez from The Wedding Planner…..I don’t have the back side to pull that look off anyway. But I was seriously concerned about looking like a couple of weirdos and drawing attention to ourselves. But I was able to find some very subtle ear pieces that allow us to keep in (quiet) communication during the ceremony so the bride and groom have more photos of their memories and less photos of my backside.
I hope I never have to reference my back side this many times in a blog post again.
Big thanks to Cosby for being my involuntary model.
