Can you say "soft focus"?
Why is it that ugly couples are always the most difficult to work with when taking their pictures? I shot a wedding this weekend and I am telling you they were so picky about every little thing and every shot done. The mother of the bride was a total control freak. I had to take a picture of every arrangement every single person at the wedding could come up with. I would have loved to tell them that I was not a miracle worker and that all the filters in the world would not help. Okay, I know I sound like a total bitch, but it really wasn’t because of the way they looked, it was their attitude. They called me a month ahead of time, didn’t get me the deposit until a week before the wedding and I didn’t even know what church I was going to until the day before. I’m telling you, if you love photography, do not go into wedding photography, it is a whole new ballgame. Yea, there is the reward of making people happy, but the stress that goes with it is a killer. I had a wedding last October that was the greatest ever and made my job completely worth it. They were the sweetest, most easy going couple I have ever worked with. Their families were both wonderful and the pictures turned out beautiful. I am shooting their best friends in July and actually looking forward to it. Maybe I should just start saying no to the difficult people!

(stay away from the pitchfork)
if you can aford to say no the annoying couples then do it!

"Maybe I should just start saying no to the difficult people!"
Then that would exclude wedding photography all together. If the bride and groom are civil, I guarantee that a parent, relative or bride's maid/groomsman won't be and they will be thrice the jerk to compensate.
Go for an easier job like hostage negotiator or shark-wrangler.

Kitty: I can afford to, I just do weddings for extra income. I can only handle the stress of doing about 5 a year. I used to do around 10-15....then my hair fell out.
Brooke: I am coming over to your place to give you a hug. You seem a little.....hostile.
KC: I totally want to be a hostage negotiator...how do I get in that line of work? I would also like to talk people down off of ledges!
The photoshop idea is great!
