i only ask because i shot exactly 3 weddings, after that i realized i could never make a living doing that without killing myself and several other people. the only one i liked was the super traditional mexican wedding, now that was dope.
6 years in and I am feeling the burns.
I've been fairly fortunate and have not had any difficult couples. Now the parents on the other hand....they are the true challenges.
I feel like I've learned how to manage the expectations of my clients really well throughout the years and that has proven to be very valuable. I myself am not into the mega huge weddings that just try to outdo their peers' weddings. All is lost on all the splendor and details. I've done my fair share of small celebrations and elopements in really unique locations and those are my favorites by far.
Never in a million years would I have thought that I'd be any good at handling such a high stress event that seems to put all the emphasis on all the wrong things. But it does wear you down pretty good and I'm glad it's seasonal.
I also never thought I'd ever ride a single speed bike as much as I do. Maybe I should try more new things.
