Default Most unusual Wedding shoot

I recently completed a wedding shoot with a couple now their late forties. She was an affiliated Mod and he a Rocker. Her guests consisted of the Lambetta scooter gang and his were Harleys. For the benefit of the photographs, they behaved themselves and I do have a good few I promise to dig out to show here. For me this was an interesting wedding shoot, what tales about these types of shoot can you all share?

Done very few weddings. Last one I did was a punk wedding. Groom had a mohawk and was wearing bondage trousers and the girl was wearing biker boots and a bright crimson dress. Nice people though.
Shooting their baby next week.

You should know my name is Penelope!!!

Going back to topic mate...Whats the chance of you posting some more wedding pics? I just lost my wine contract to some guy who has halved my prices. Baby shots slowed right down to about 2 a week. Dog shots not due to kick in again for another month. Money running out and I have had 3 wedding enquiries. You know how much I loathe shooting weddings. Any tips would be appreciated. I can do a reasonable job...one of the enquiries is from the sister of the girl who's wedding I did a while back, so I must be doing something right. I just need that bit extra.
The things we have to do for money!!! I have a second shooter who is good with people.

I'm a bit like you, and loathe weddings. But..I'll do anything for a quid. I need to go into my laptop where most of my recent wedding images are stored and upload some. Lots of tips and stories to tell, if I can be of help, I will.

Yes mate. I'm a bit rusty to be fair. Still got my list of shot options somewhere. I'm gonna get rid of my two metz guns and opt for the canon.
