I'll have you know I shot my sister's wedding :
actually It scared the hell out of me. It might be that everyone said I did well not only because they were trying to cheer me up, something I always suspect, but also because I was so afraid of messing it up I concentrated on filming and didn't pay much attention otherwise. The tripod we got helped too.
I also sculpted the roses on the cake.
A saying in our family is you get what you paid for. Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back.
