That's good to hear. Back when I got married there were some real jerks in the wedding photography business, and they weren't worried about running out of customers. Here's an actual conversation I had with one of them:

Me: "I'm getting married on [date] and I'm looking for a photographer."

Them, in the voice of Nick Burns: "We're already filling up for next year. Good luck finding a photographer this year."

Me: "I just got engaged. You never have anything open up?"

Them: "No" and hang up the phone.

The faster guys like that struggle to make a living, the better.



I know a couple of professional photographers and neither of them will do weddings. It seems many of the clients are as bad as the photographers.


In the same breath, those photographers will complain about all the "amateurs" devaluing their services.


Definitely. What matters more is that the ability to take photos is available to more people, which is a net positive.
