A Bad Wedding Photographer Could Change Your Career

A lot of people get involved in their career to right a wrong, but few of them are artists. I am an exception. A wedding photography San Francisco debacle got me interested in the world of professional photography.  I was very much in love when I was getting married and being in love makes you do stupid things. I’m not talking about the usual stupid things that people mention – staying out all night to watch the sun, driving across the country to meet up with your lover, leaving strange messages on voicemail. In my case, I’m talking about much more prosaic stupid things. I was so busy being in love that I didn’t bother to think enough about everyday matters. This can be a problem when you are acting as your own wedding planner!

I only looked at a few wedding photographers before I settled on one and I mostly trusted my instincts. Sometimes this is a good thing, but when you have the luxury of looking at other sources, say for example, the portfolios and professional references of wedding photographers – you really should. The wedding photographer was a joke. He was pretending to be a wedding professional photographer, but most of the pictures he had taken had been for free at friends weddings. I could have sworn that he showed up drunk to take the wedding photos and you could see the results. A lot of them were blurry, poorly lit and taken from unflattering angles. It is as if he wanted the wedding photography to be poor! I won’t even start to talk about the wedding video!

When me and my wife were complaining about the wedding photographers mistakes, I surprised her. I was quite specific about my criticisms. I knew exactly how each picture could be improved and why you would expect a better job from a wedding photographer. Although I had little photographic experience, it appeared that I had a natural knack for it. After quite a bit of coaxing from my wife, I decided to be a professional photographer. I knew that it was tough for wedding photographers to make it, but I also knew that I had a previously undiscovered talent. I definitely took a risk and went out on a limb, but in the long run it was worth it. My clients have been much happier with my work than I was with my own wedding photos!

It Has To Last A Lifetime - Mens Wedding Rings

Ah, is it that wedding day yet? This is the one special day that occurs between you and your lovely significant other that can never be lived again. Uh, well actually now that I think about it, couples get married more than once now days. At least some do. It must simply be a desire to relive something so amazing. It’s difficult to ponder the notion that some experiences can’t be relived. This is especially true if you’re a parent. Anyway, I have to wonder if these married couples purchase new wedding bands when they marry a second time. I have to admit that I’m very happy with my custom made wedding band. In fact, I wouldn’t want a different one. What do all you men out there think? When it comes to mens wedding rings, how far did you go the first time around?

A wedding band it certainly important for a man, as it is for a woman. Just think about this issue. Just like the bride, the groom will be wearing his wedding ring until death do us part. That’s often a lifetime. So basically, even when it comes to mens wedding rings, we guys should all be rather particular. We need to choose an ideal band that will not only last forever, but it will look great as well.  Obviously different men will have different preferences when it comes to mens wedding rings. Personally, I’m no jewelry buff. I don’t wear a shred of jewelry other than my wedding band. When the time came, I knew I wanted a wedding ring that was tough and manly all the way. No gold or platinum involved. And especially no jewels. I was searching for mens wedding rings that consisted of titanium or stainless Damascus steel.

Suddenly my options were narrowed after hearing horror stories about titanium from my mother, who’s a nurse. She said that if they’re ever bent or stuck on your finger in an accident, surgeons and medical teams can hardly get them off. They’re too tough to cut. YIKES! I didn’t want to deal with that. Therefore I went with Damascus rings. I hopped on the web and found a jeweler who custom made one just for me. It’s phenomenal. Don’t belittle your wedding band. Even when it comes to mens wedding rings, this is a very important aspect to consider. Whether you love jewelry or not, try and find an ideal wedding ring that will last you a lifetime. You’ll be glad you did.
