First of all, I was a guest in my nephew’s wedding, not a photographer. Of course, I took my camera with me and took some snapshots.

In my opinion wedding photography is the most difficult and challenging field of photography. How to get high-quality, clear and consistent-look photos, when you can only shoot once to capture that unique moment. The wedding day is such an important and intense day with a lot of expectations. I can’t even imagine how the couple - and the photographer - would feel if the photos were not what they expected and wanted.

There’s certainly some pressure for a photographer on a wedding day. It’s a one-time event and everything must be captured as it happens and not miss the big moments. That’s a lot of responsibility.

For a wedding photographer it’s evident to:

do the research
arrive early
create a timeline
prepare, prepare, prepare
be creative

Of course it is impossible to be everywhere and see everything, yet you can’t miss those one-time moments: the kisses, the laughs, the crying, the emotions, and the dancing. That’s the pressure a wedding photographer is constantly under.

For me Hugo & Lyydia’s wedding was the most beautiful wedding ever!
