Uncle Bob
I recently attended a wedding of some vaguely distant relations via my Partner’s family. I wasn’t shooting this, but I did take my camera. I was an ‘Uncle Bob’ – as those in the wedding trade call the family member with a good camera.
There was a slight trauma when our toddler launched himself at the cake, and I actually saw the wedding photographer give me a knowing look, so I am sure he was thinking this, armed with my 60D, though I didn’t actually have a big flashgun on the top.
Anyway, I shot mostly my own family, and came up with some nice shots, as practice shall we say, if I ever have to do it again!
