I KNOW, IT IS NOT NICE by the LISBON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

When people have fun at the wedding
I can not, nor should I, speak for other wedding photographers but, I, sometimes, suffer from a defect that I shouldn’t have but that gives me a lot of help. Envy is not a nice thing. Without any question, I can not let myself feel some of it when, in a room where the people amuse themselves, I see everybody, with more or less talent, with feet around without caring if they are good or not with the dancing steps. That is because I am not good in the land of dance and if I need to show it, it is a shame. So, yes, I am a jealous guy. Just a bit.
But when I am jealous is when I see, better I ear, someone with a musical instrument, be a guitar or a piano, a drum or saxophone and so on, being happy, how only musicians can be, dropping musical notes in the air and making those, that can not do it, dancing and thinking they are the best in the amusement business. Why them and not me? I can not blow a single note. If I sing they tell me to shut up, if try to play an instrument they laugh at me. A sadness.
The photographer’s good jealousy
But my jealousy is good. Because I am very happy listening to and seeing others being happy, dancing with those playing to them. Because most of the time this happens at weddings, I can assure you that nobody has more fun than I do doing what they do. I can hear music and love it. But if I do that and, at the same time, I am the wedding photographer, you can not find anybody in that room happier than I am. Not even the wedding couple…just married.
