Delivered my first "bad" gallery
For background. I'm a music festival and event photographer part time. The couple who hired me met me through my festival work and I've shot them multiple times at festivals so they know my typical style. They requested me to shoot their small wedding this summer. I told them how weddings are not my bread and butter and it's a new subject to me and they didn't seem to care because they like my festival work. Fast forward to the day of. Shot some getting ready BTS at one of the bridesmaid's house but half the bridal party didn't show up on time, so it was hurried by the time people arrived.( I was early). The ceremony was held at a small fire hall-esque building and not very tidy. Because of everyone being slightly late, I had no time to set-up my OFC, and had about 10 minutes to do all the family portraits. The indoor lighting was very sterile but I did my absolute best I could. The reception was held at a brewery, where the photo style was more in my wheelhouse. I re edited things multiple times and just keep not being happy with the result. The couple seems to like it, I just have had a rock in my stomach since delivery because it is so unlike the photos they are used to from me, or my style as a whole. Anyone have tips to deal with this feeling of delivering ( in your mind) a gallery not up to snuff?
(Also this is a lovely couple, none of this is on them, and I have no personal issues with anyone getting a lower cost/ non pretty venue)
