Recently, I had two conversations. One with the mother of a prospective bride at a bridal show. The other with someone who was married a few years ago. Both had bad experiences with photographer regarding past weddings.

I have a T-shirt with that printed on the front.
Yes a bit hokey, but in a way, it's got some truth to it. A photograph does in fact freeze time. Does that make it a super power? No, not really, however, we as photographers, how we frame an image, how we pose or set the image, light the images and finally edit the image is what make us, us.

Any way here is i...
