What I like most about your articles is the idea that you are interviewing the brides just as much as they are interviewing you. I'm sure after a while you develop a sixth sense about when it's likely to be more trouble than it's worth. Being able to confidently say "I don't think we're a good fit" probably makes you more money in the long-run.
Every interview (even for a job) should be about both of you. The more you prepare mentally, the more powerful that "sixth sense" becomes. Letting them talk is key because you only do your best work when you're comfortable.
Hiring clients that make you uncomfortable is a recipe for a "challenging" day.
"I don't think we're a good fit" is a bullet that doesn't come out often but just knowing that it's in your gun too balances things nicely.
An interesting 'insider's' view at what's involved in being booked as a wedding photographer.
