But then why not load them to UHH directly from you computer instead of sending them back to your phone....

Great if your camera is included... mine isn't (Olympus)

When our son was married in Jamaica, I collected the files from the other photographers there, to make them into a slide-show and a printed photo book. One major lesson learned: get everyone willing to share their photos to synchronize the time-setting on their camera!
No two of them had the same time! Differences were anywhere from 5 minutes to 8 hours.
What saved me a lot of time, was that there were two or three instances where everyone took a photo at just about the same time: The kiss after the I do's, the groom holding up his hand showing off his new ring, and the couple stepping off the platform together.
Because of that I was able to figure out the time-differences of the cameras and put the correct time on the file names.
There are plans in the making for going to a resort for this couples 10th anniversary, or maybe 15th if covid doesn't leave any time soon. This time I will contact everyone as soon as we are all at the resort, to synchronise their cameras, now!!!

So back to before the wedding:
Write a contract.
Include:
That you will not set a certain number of photos to take but client will be able to choose xx number of photos to receive as prints. If possible, have the client come to your home or studio to select the photos they want. If you have a website and post the photos there, for the clients to make their selection, put a nice ugly watermark on them - but let the client know that the prints they get will not have that watermark. (Some time ago, I read about a photographer putting tiny watermarks on the photos, in a colour similar to the background colour - for example in someone's hair, in the folds of a dress, in the busy pattern of a persian carpet on the floor, and unless you knew where to look, nearly invisible).
That you own the copyright, and that therefore the client may not scan and print the photos.
That outtakes will not be available for viewing and will be destroyed immediately. (or not in the contract, but simply destroy the outtakes and don't even tell them how many you took out).
That where editing is needed, this will be done professionally.
That prints will be available for pick up/delivery after xx days.

If you're going with a written contract, have a lawyer look it over before you actually start using it. In the long run, it will be well worth the money spent. Do tell the lawyer that you intend to copy the contract for each new client that hires you!

Hope you find something useful in this - nothing worse than haggling with a client after the shoot...

Bethanne, do you happen to live in a neighbourhood where there are a lot of young teenagers? Say between 12-17 years old? If so, ask one of them to help you. You'll be amazed at what these youngsters know and can do! Especially if they have their own cellphone....

A lot of my Dad's work was destroyed when we moved from one town to another, but that was his own wish. He carefully sorted through the negatives, the family pics he kept. His attitude about the commercial ones: The people that hired me to take them, have their prints, will never be back for more. I took them, it's my copyright, I can do with them as I please! At 15, I was too young to understand the implications of copyright, otherwise I just might have rescued a bunch of films from his darkroom....
For myself now, I have three external hard drives for my photos: two large capacity ones, and a much smaller one. Even a thumbdrive serves for that. One large one "lives" in my grandson's bedroom, and every so often I pay him "rent" - give him a couple of dollars. I would anyway, as I do with all the grandkids, but don't tell him that. The other one stays here at home, and any photos saved from the camera go both on the external and on the thumbdrive. Next time we go visit the grandkids, that thumbdrive goes with me, external is updated, thumbdrive wiped clean and ready for the next batch. Has been working well this way for probably 5-8 years.

When extended warranty is offered in the store, I always ask how much it costs, then decline.
Once I'm home, I put exactly that amount of money in my savings account. When a few years ago, my laptop went on the blink, it would have cost more to fix it than to buy a new one. By that time I had enough money in my savings account to go to the store and buy a new laptop! Of course I was offered extended insurance again, declined and put that amount into savings as well.
It is tempting to use that money for buying other things as well, but so far I've only used it for items that needed replacement.
It's kind of being my own insurer, but instead of the insurance being for 2 or 3 years, I have decided to make it valid for the life of the item. And I will use it to replace items I bought even before I started this.

The best I can, absolutely. My Dad was a professional photographer, and from the time he let me use one of his cameras on a school trip, I have tried to do the best I could with what he taught me. He passed away in 1988, but often, with camera in hand, I'll think about what he would have done for a particular photo before he pressed the shutter release button.

Huge advantage: You always have the palm of your hand with you!!
I've heard some not-so-nice words when someone realized they forgot to put a grey card in the camera bag and now they're 3 hours driving from home...

Marg, may I add a suggestion?
Likely you will have the "fixed" photo printed to frame it and hang it back on the wall where the damaged one was. Why not have two or even three copies printed at the same time?
Frame one, put the other one(s) in a safe place.
Also, save the image file where you can find it back easily. Depending on the medium used, you may have to copy it to new medium every couple of years.

If you are using Windows, it is very easy to change, add to, delete any of the exif data.
In File Explorer click on the folder your photos are in.
There will be a bar across the top, giving you a lot of possibilities for display.
Select "Details".
You will now have a list of the photos in that folder, as well as several columns with different headers.
Right-click on any of the headers, from the pop-up that shows then, you can select what columns you want to add or remove.
If that is not sufficient for your needs, from that same pop-up select "more" at the very bottom. The next pop-up should keep you out of mischief for a while, as there are so many options of items you can add to your tags. Some auto-fill, some you type in yourself.
I suggest you make a new folder, copy some photos to it, and play with this feature for a bit so you understand it and see what it actually does.
Have fun!

All the more reason to carefully read everything we write and to make sure that it cannot be misinterpreted.
Over and out.

It's all in this sentence: " Has any tried photography from a bicycle, motorbike or Vespa motor-scooter?"

Certainly, it doesn't say whether the rider has stopped or is still moving, or whether he/she is still sitting on that bike or scooter, but in the context, the word "from" implies that he/she is still on that bike or scooter and possibly still moving.
Besides readers paying close attention to the text, in many cases writers (including me!!) should pay closer attention to the way things are worded.

So I went back to the original question:

"A not uncommon thing for me is to see a nice shot while driving, but there is no safe and convenient place to pull off. I wished I was in a motorbike and could pull off onto whatever meager strip of shoulder the road might offer me. Has any tried photography from a bicycle, motorbike or Vespa motor-scooter?"

My interpretation of the last sentence: I'm sitting on a moving bicycle, motorbike or Vespa motor-scooter and want to take a photo while still sitting on that moving thing...

When I've been the passenger on my Dad's Norton motorbike, yes.
I've never been the driver on a motorbike or scooter, but considering the speed these things go, you'd be an idiot to even consider trying it.
Not even from my bicycle would I consider taking photos without stopping first.
It's not only your own life you take into your hands, but those of fellow road-users as well. And with the luck of some, there would probably be a cop nearby to hand you a nice early Christmas present....
