I was interviewed for Tami Winn’s blog about Trash the Dress sessions and Day After portraits along with the wonderful Kevin Jairaj. You can check out the whole article here.

“On the other side of the lens, if you will, are those couples who have had a terrible experience with their original photographer. Lynn Michelle of Lynn Michelle Photography says that many of her clients come in devastated over their wedding day photos. ‘Some photographers are just not qualified or do not have enough experience to create and stick to a successful schedule or timeline. Their clients come to me hoping to make up for the lack of quality photos they had on their wedding day,’ says Michelle. ‘I end up re-doing a lot of traditional, candid shots that please mom and dad, and then I can get creative!'”

Note from me: I’ve been getting more and more requests to redo wedding day portraits than ever before. It breaks my heart that these couples are absolutely devastated by their wedding images and I wish I had a big happy face band aid so I could fix it all in one swoop.

“Both photographers like to take into account the couple’s interests and format the shoot around them. Michelle had a couple that was extremely into art- Eric gave Julie a painting for her wedding present. So it only seemed fitting to do their day after shoots at a paintball range. They brought out paints and got to finger paint each other- and even threw paint grenades to get massive spots of color. ‘I had so much fun at that shoot and got some great moments between Julie and Eric. But I wouldn’t recommend throwing paint grenades around photography equipment. It’s been two years and I still have the evidence on some of my cameras!'” says Michelle.

Note from me: This quote had me laughing my pants off. Did I really say that? Yes, I did. Because. I. Still. Have. Blue. Paint. On. Over. Half. Of. My. Equipment. And I still giggle hysterically whenever I catch a glimpse of it and I remember what a bad idea it was to use a paint grenade on national television.
