Every photographer, whether professional or amateur, is going to be photographing a wedding or two before long into their career or hobby. And you can bet that if there is one photo on display in a home, it is likely to be a wedding photo. Look back through your family album and there they are: the black and white wedding portraits of great-grandparents, grandparents, followed by black and white or grainy color wedding photos of our own parents. They are as much part of the family tree and recorded family history as any other heirloom handed down from generation to generation.
So it is that the professional wedding photographer, whether weekend moonlighter or full-time professional, is an integral part of the wedding planning process and budget. Whether found by referral or by searching the internet, he or she better be good!
Photographer Michael McLane has of course photographed weddings, and in doing so has learned to respect those that do it as a profession. As Mike expressed it to me after acting as photographer at his niece's wedding:
I had a great time and a lot of fun doing their wedding, but it was a hell of a lot of work. It was a big wedding in Palm Springs. I started shooting about 10:00 AM and finished about 9:30 PM. I have a whole new respect for the guys that do that for a living. I really don’t want to do anymore weddings!Take a look at the wedding photos by Mike McLane taken at his niece's wedding.
