Wedding Photography to Avoid

With wedding photography, as with many things in life, it’s just as important to know what NOT to shoot, as it is to know what should be photographed.  Below are a few examples, courtesy of The Huffington Post, which hilariously illustrate the type of photography you DON’T want on your wedding day.
