My first ever wedding – unpaid, for friends, with my brand new DSLR – it turns out that you *can* slip CF cards in the wrong way, and if you push too hard, the pins get bent inside the card reader.

When this happens 15 minutes before the ceremony starts, there’s a period of panic, some borrowing of tools (and wire) from the driver of the vintage bridal car, and some hurried (and desperate) straightening of pins – surprisingly, it actually worked… and continues working to this day (about 5 years later).

I obtained this confession from another colleague:

“I had done the outdoor shots. It had been a gorgeous day, big gathering, charming groom, friendly bride… All good. Now it was time to go inside.

“I followed the crowd into the beautiful seaside chapel, squinting as I went at the LCD on my camera in order to be prepared with new F stop and ISO settings… which was about when I trod on the bride’s 3-metre train.”

Talk about over-exposed…

I’m pasting this from an email sent to me from a wedding photographer friend:

“At a garden wedding reception, I grabbed my camera and some fast glass from the back of my van and slid the door behind me in a hurry to catch some candids of the groom and his mates in the fading afternoon light.

“It took close to an hour for the guy from roadside assist to rescue my keys from inside the van, so I could get to my flash and the rest of my camera gear.”
