If there is some unforeseen event, illness, etc., last minute where you would not be able to attend, what happens?

One nice thing about being a professional is that I have access to a wide variety of networks I can lean on in serious emergencies, and if for some act of God I was unable to shoot, I’d absolutely consider it my responsibility to try to replace myself.  I’d also claim the RAW files from the photographer that replaced me and handle the processing myself so that the images have the look & feel of a Carla Boecklin Photography wedding.

That said, photography is my career, and I am a consummate professional.  I’m extremely conscientious, so I would never take such matters casually.  I take immaculate care of myself in order to ensure good health for my shoots — after all, I’m on my feet (bending, running, standing, kneeling, etc) that day for 8-10 hours in total, and sheer adrenaline isn’t enough to keep you going!
