Say the words "face recognition" and people picture the wrong thing. CCTV. Governments. A database somewhere with their name on it. So when you tell a couple their wedding gallery uses face search, it's fair if their first reaction is a slightly nervous "…wait, how does that work?"

Let's start with the old way, because you've lived it.

Think about the best moment at any wedding you've shot. Not the posed stuff - the real one. The bride's father wiping his eyes when he thinks no one's looking. The cousins losing their minds on the dance floor. The grandmother seeing the couple and just beaming.

"AI" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in marketing these days, and most of the time it means very little.
