Kudos. Great headline. Unbelievable (but great!) they actually made the article about you more than the football star. That's unheard of unless your publicist gets the piece inserted. What led to them writing with that spin, may I ask?

No thanks necessary... but you probably should have mentioned it in the article.
And me... you should have mentioned me...
Great job, the movie popcorn pic is really good. Of course, I got through about 15 shots and was side tracked by the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders.

This is my favorite part: "Prezant and Mosier hope that the popularity of the Flacco photos persuades other newlyweds to give more time on their wedding days to photographers — and to give them their full trust, too."
I can understand why you'd think that, but that line makes me wince. Because it's inadvertently saying "hey all you couples out there is wedding land, not giving time to your photographer and not trusting them is the popular majority crowd behavior. And Prezant and Mosier wish they could have less of that themselves."
In his book, "Influence", Robert Cialdini points out how when you mention what the majority of others do, even as a negative, it actually backfires by sending the message "this is what everyone else does, so it's ok to do it." Interesting stuff! He found, for example, that when a hotel chain changed its signs in the rooms from "Please don't take the towels" (which inadvertently sent the message that everyone steals towels and thus encouraged towel theft) to "Other guests who've stayed in this room cooperated with out policy of not taking towels" (or something like that), that it actually reduced pilferage. Interesting.

Yea, except it's a celebrity wedding. So it's kinda like saying "This celebrity gave the photographers time. If you want to get photos like a celebrity, you have to give the photographers time. "
