RE: being helpful. If you shoot weddings, please bring with you at least 2-3 large safety pins. I used to shoot them and almost every time. something would happen w/ the brides gown, or ushers zipper, or brides maids gowns; that was fixed with MY SAFETY PINS. It cost you nothing and saves the day for your client.
