i know i’m going to hear this from at least one uncle

There’s an affectionate term that wedding photographers have for the old guy that inevitably pops up at every wedding. “Uncle Bob.” The photography enthusiast at your wedding. Yes, he’s probably an uncle (might be your dad, nephew, brother); and yes, for whatever reason, it’s usually a guy. He’s the one with a big old camera around his neck who feels compelled to take photos of anything and everything.

This guy with a camera usually comes up to me and asks me:

“Whatcha shooting with?”

I show him my cameras and his eyes widen — “Wow, what a set-up! That’s a lot of money right there!”
