Lately there has been an uprising against many things in the wedding world and it seems that much of this angst has been taken out on the unassuming mason jar and everything it stands for at a wedding.<\/p>\n

For what it is worth, I love mason jars.\u00a0 When I was a kid, we had a few of them that had handles and my brother and I would fight over who got that glass because it was by far the best glass.\u00a0 It had a handle so it was hard to drop (major bonus for me, because I am clumsy) and it held a TON of pop which was even better.\u00a0 When the last one finally broke I was very upset.\u00a0 I still think about buying new ones because I loved those glasses so darn much.\u00a0 Yes, I\u2019ve been known to have a wee bit of an attachment issue with inanimate objects.<\/p>\n

While the anger has been brewing for a while, today the wedding world seemed to have exploded over the mason jar wedding hate after a blog post and a twitter war.\u00a0 Basically the main complaint from wedding photographers is that they are sick of wedding blogs, Style Me Pretty<\/a> in particular, featuring weddings that are homogenous and detail oriented.\u00a0 They are upset that their weddings that may not have a lot of details but makes up for that in lots of love filled\u00a0imagery\u00a0are not being featured and are turned down for yet another \u201cmason jar wedding.\u201d\u00a0 They are even more upset with the styled shoots that are being labeled as \u201cwedding\u201d images because potential clients may think that wind machines are standards on a wedding day (to my clients, personally I think you’re smarter than that!).<\/p>\n

Confession, I rarely go to wedding blogs.\u00a0 If I do, it\u2019s because a friend got featured or someone is talking smack about a particular blog post.\u00a0 Even as a bride I rarely visited them although they were not nearly as popular in 2007 as they are now.\u00a0 I did however love Wedding Bee<\/a> because they featured all kinds of weddings and the how-to\u2019s behind it. \u00a0I just wish I’d found out about it sooner to implement more of the awesome things they had there. \u00a0I also don\u2019t read wedding magazines much.\u00a0 So if they are featuring the same wedding every day, I wouldn\u2019t know it.<\/p>\n

What I do know is that here in the midwest, we see trends often as much as 2-3 years later than the rest of the country.\u00a0 While the trend is hot and being photographed, we here in Ohio are clueless about it.\u00a0 When it hits the newsstands or blogs is when we find out about it and then that\u2019s when our clients start adding the \u201cnewest\u201d trend to their wedding day which may not be for another year or more.\u00a0 To them, it\u2019s new and exciting!!\u00a0 Case in point, my first mason jar wedding was this July – but this trend has been online for a few years.\u00a0 In Ohio, things just take a bit more time to get here.\u00a0 Heck, we just<\/strong><\/span><\/em> got our first Five Guys!<\/p>\n

Wedding blogs are much like magazines.\u00a0 They are out to make money and they won\u2019t be very popular, or make a lot of ad money, if they featured weddings that may have pretty pictures but nothing that the potential bride or groom want to obtain.\u00a0 They can\u2019t buy that love they see in pictures but they CAN recreate that bouquet they see that captured their heart. \u00a0I was OBSESSED with a bouquet I saw in Brides magazine as a bride, OBSESSED. \u00a0It was amazing but also something crazy like $12K. \u00a0I ended up with my own $750 bouquet that I loved even more but that expensive bouquet gave me a place to start with ideas. \u00a0There ARE nitche blogs that are out there for the moments, just like there are nitche blogs out there for the weddings that are not your \u201ctypical\u201d weddings.\u00a0 If you as a photographer have beef with a blog and the weddings they feature, then do not submit to them!\u00a0 It\u2019s really that easy.<\/p>\n

Me personally?\u00a0 I do not care what the wedding looks like.\u00a0 Sure, detail laden weddings are amazing but that doesn\u2019t mean the wedding I shoot with no details but lots-o-love isn\u2019t just as awesome to shoot.\u00a0 I shoot for my CLIENTS and no one else.\u00a0 So long as my clients are happy, I\u2019m happy.\u00a0 If I get a feature out of it down the line, yippie! but it\u2019s not what I am thinking of the day of the wedding nor who I am shooting for.<\/p>\n

So, if you are like me and could care less what the industry does so long as your clients are happy, raise your mason jar glass with me!\u00a0 Cheers!<\/p>\n

PS: \u00a0My current mason jar is filled with Jolly Rancher Vodka<\/a>. \u00a0So how could that item NOT be seriously awesome?<\/p>\n
