That's not good, I take it you are not married anymore. How do you shoot your own wedding? I think that might take away from your enjoyment of the event, but I guess it probably didn't matter anyways. I would not recommend shooting your own wedding.

We had a private ceremony with no photographer and then a casual party with friends and family and I just shot one pic of each table as I made the rounds.

Hey old-timers! Remember Josh Jones (skiboarder72)? He's come a long way. I'm impressed.

I am fearless, because I've been afraid.

Putting a still photo boot at a wedding party has been a thing for a few years... a slow-mo photobooth... that's new. and super awesome!

The florescent lighting in Walmart can be tricky. Don't show up unprepared. :woof:

Which isle of walmart would YOU get married in?
Personally, it would be the paint department. Usually quieter with less traffic. Nicely stocked cans of pastel colors. Usually the more helpful, experienced worker mixing up colors. He/She can perform the ceremony.
