Celebrations of any kind for anyone who has become "the photographer or photographer of the family" have ceased to be a more or less relaxed and idle event, to become an act that entails a responsibility (dear or imposed) from which it is difficult to escape. And although the stress scale varies depending on the weight of the social event to which we have been kindly invited (our mother's birthday is not the same as our best friend's wedding), the truth is that you have to be properly prepared to avoid blunders.
And because we know what it is, because we've been through it (and we're still going through it), because wherever we go, people hide their cameras and phones and tell us: you'd better do it, it'll look better on you, and that's how they ignore the issue . leaving you with even more pressure… As we know what is going on, as we empathize with you every second, we dedicate ourselves to writing this series of articles based on our experience to try to help you in these magical and stressful moments that social events can be.
