I got interested in photography some years ago while taking pictures for a web project. I guess I developed a degree of aptitude, and a friend asked me to photograph her wedding. She was totally kind and courteous about it, but I put so much pressure on myself to produce high-quality work that I decided I never wanted to do another wedding, and I probably didn't want to work for anyone as a photographer in any capacity.
It's just not the same delightful experience doing it for someone else as it is doing it for my own enjoyment.
I shot a wedding for a couple in the church who could not afford a professional wedding photographer. One of the most stressful experiences of my life. I promised myself I would never shoot another wedding.
(Now, as a pastor, I can tell you that I found performing a wedding ceremony to be less stressful than photographing one. Go figure.)
