I had a wedding recently where due to a trifecta of videographers (really cool guys actually) I didn't get a shot that I envisioned in my mind which got me down a little and made me feel like I had failed. I loaded the cards, backed up and forgot about it for a few days. A week later I edited the pictures and realized that we rockstar ninja'd the heck out of that wedding. That one shot was not going to be missed by the couple, nor by me.
"Baby, its not you, its me. I just need some time to gain some perspective..."
Very cool.
On the other hand.... I had a wedding that I did FAIL. Everyone was late, stressed, not having fun, etc. and though I didn't realize it so much at the time, I really dropped the ball on the quality of the photos. They got their money's worth and good coverage, but not the quality I feel should have been there. It didn't help that smiles were rare and tension high, but the last thing I want is for them or their friends to see my other work somewhere and think about how their photos didn't compare. No idea if they would actually think this, but it's very possible. I decided to offer a press book album at a special price to help showcase their wedding. More work on my end, but it highlights the good of the day and also helps put this behind me.
Going forward, it's a hard lesson that was well learned.
