… to what people say about a photographer.

It’s the same with many things, but what people talk about defines a lot about that person. Good or bad.

A wedding guest recently told me about their wedding photos, and this is paraphrasing, but I’ve heard so many iterations of it over the years the exact quotation is basically redundant:

“We did quite like our wedding photos, but there weren’t any photos of my mum… which was a shame. Quite a few of my shoes though, so that’s nice…” [usually followed by a vacant gaze!]
