Almost anyone can learn how to operate a camera. And, anyone with enough patience and money can learn to confidently shoot film.

‘Directing’ on the other hand, is something that takes a lifetime to master. I feel like a beginner with directing, but I understand the importance of it. I think it is ultimately the vision and the ability of a photographer to direct people that justifies hiring a wedding photographer at all. As digital cameras continue to improve and it gets harder to ‘take a bad picture,’ personal vision and directing will become the most important factor in choosing a photographer.
