My dry sense of humor and sarcasm cost me a wedding!

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010      Written by: theStoryteller, a Modern Lifestyle Photographer      { Life, Things }

Recently, a bride who loves my work decided to go with another photographer after reading my blog post on, “The Best locations for engagement photos in New York City”.  Her wedding will be at the Palm House in New York City’s renowned Brooklyn Botanical Garden.

I thought my readers will realize that the post was a tongue and cheek writing about personal preferences and why you should not have one as professional photographer. That’s why I intentionally did not give a long list of the best locations for engagement photos in NYC, because the best locations are where you end up at the moment. The best “landscapes” are the human faces. Without that there’s no meaning to the best locations.

I’m certain that I’ll write more future blog posts on the best locations for photography sessions. Hopefully, soon you’ll be able to see some incredible images taken in ordinary everyday locations.

I would like to  end this post and leave with you a thought about focus…if you focus on the finger pointing to the moon; you will miss all that heavenly glory. And if you focus on getting to that beautiful location, you will miss those gorgeous moments on the way. Seize the moment, which is here and now and right in front of you! Carpe diem!

    Willi, thank you for making my family relax with your sense of humor. Thank you so much for making us laugh in 3 dialects of Chinese and English. Our photographs turn out to be a work of art because we had fun!

    Hi Willi,

    Don’t worry with your talent I’m sure you’ll be over booked for that day! Because of your sense of humor, my wedding photos are AMAZING! And it gets more beautiful each time I look at them.
