If you’re a prefessional wedding photographer, then Mike Johnston’s latest weekly column is essential reading:

“On November 6th, on www.cbs.marketwatch.com, a reporter named Chris Plummer wrote an article that has caused a stir among professional photographers. The article purports to name the ten most overpaid jobs in the United States. The top ones are just as you’d expect: CEOs of failing companies, washed-up athletes working out the remaining years of big contracts, and mutual fund managers. Surprisingly, however, the #10 spot named, of all things, wedding photographers.”

Personally I’d never photograph a wedding, especially for somebody that I knew - all that pressure to get things exactly right, in a very small amount of time. I’ll stick to photographing buildings, thank you very much!
