Tips on How To Be A BAD Wedding Photographer with Casey Fatchett

#362 In today's episode of the Beginner Photography Podcast,
Casey Fatchett shares tips on how to be a bad wedding
photographer. He talks about some of his own photography
mistakes, such as his flash going out mid-wedding and his camera
dying the day before a wedding he was scheduled to shoot. He also
offers advice on what photographers can do to ruin a couple's
wedding day.

Casey Fatchett hosts The Nerdy Photographer Podcast, an
informative, entertaining, and irreverent look at the photo
industry. Casey brings his more than twenty years of professional
photography experience, primarily as a wedding photographer, to
every episode.


Casey is lactose intolerant, loves talking about himself in the
third person, and can be found making his wife laugh or hiking
with his dog when not creating images for his clients.



THE BIG IDEAS


Preparation Over Perfection: True professionalism means
always having backup gear and being ready for surprises. Being
prepared matters more than flawless images.

Collaboration Over Ego: Your artistic vision is important,
but collaborating and listening to clients’ preferences ensures
you deliver photos they value.

Adaptability Fuels Growth: When things inevitably go
wrong—like equipment failure or missed moments—adapt, improvise,
and learn to turn challenges into growth.

Resilience Is Key: Mistakes will happen, but your ability to
own them, recover, and improve builds trust and credibility for
your future work.
