Hear from Mason Joel of Mason Joel Photography. “I try not to take myself too seriously when I am working. Part of my job is keeping the mood light and enjoyable. If it's your wedding day, I am going to be your guy to get stuff done when it needs to get done. You need me to wrangle grandma and grandpa to see the cake cutting? I'll do it. Need some water? I got you. Want me to get a quick picture of you with the in-laws you might actually hate but know you will never live it down if you don't get a photo? Let's make it short and sweet. I am there to serve you. When the day is over and everyone is going home, I want people to walk away and say 'that dude was hilarious and hell, he made me look good!' That right there, ladies and gentlemen, is what keeps me going. I should also warn you, once we have talked, you've gained not only a photographer but a new friend. No really, you'll be stuck with me. No take-backs!”.Also check out the video version of the podcast for even MORE fun!!! - https://youtu.be/wR_Tv0W_Ubg
