Day 1333 – Hot Topic – Do We Drink At Weddings?

I don’t know how many of my potential and current clients actually ask this question…but I’m still going to address it.

When we shot the wedding on Saturday, both of us were offered drinks a few times. I can totally understand this! We strive to be great friends with our clients, their wedding party and family. I think the fact that we are offered drinks means that our clients feel comfortable with us. I have no doubt that every client who has offered truly would not care if we did drink. But 95% of the time, we choose to not drink during the day. The 5% of the time that we have had a drink it has ONLY been in the last 15 minutes of the evening or after we are officially off the clock. So, feel free to offer us a drink! We’ll politely decline until the end of the day!

On Saturday, we were very graciously invited to the after party at the bride’s parents’ house. We had such a blast kicking back, leaving our cameras packed up and enjoying the company of our AMAZING clients!

Now, you may be wondering why I would write a post like this. You might be thinking, um, Jen, OF COURSE you won’t drink at a wedding! And you’re right. It’s easy to explain this when it comes up at a wedding. I’ve never addressed it before because of that reason.

BUT, at the rehearsal for this same wedding, at the nearly very end, the groom ordered a number of shots. There was an extra one and he turned around and offered it to Bret. Since it was almost time to go, I said, what the hey! I, of course, got photographic evidence…and it it one of my favorite pictures of Bret. 🙂
