Did my first wedding for a friend

Few months ago I decided to help a friend with his wedding photos since he couldn’t afford a professional photographer. I did it for free because he was a good friend and I wanted to challenge myself. After time passed, I remembered I asked l advice on Reddit and people gave me a lot negative comments. Saying that I was dumb for taking the request and should just enjoyed the wedding. Others said that wedding photography is the highest difficulty and could cause drama. Not everyone said this but there were a lot of doubtful people and honestly were just dramatic.

The couple loved my photos very much and were grateful for the help. My message to people who are considering helping a friend or family with photos is this: Don’t let people sway your willingness to help a friend. When it comes to wedding photography just come with a plan and have back ups for your camera. It honestly wasn’t even that hard and I did it while being in a night shift schedule with my other job.
