Will wedding photography ever be the same again?
I was checking through the various regulations for weddings. It looks like they have changed forever.
Gone are the big weddings we're used to, 150 people crammed into a reception, the slow smoochie dance at the end of the night and the best men snogging anything they can get hold of... including each other (it's ok I'm broadminded)
Now it looks like small weddings with well spaced receptions when they are allowed.
Couples will have to wash their hands before exchanging rings. Good luck with that, half the churches dont have running water, besides it makes no sense as the vast majority of couples tying the knot are already living together anyway.
To be honset most of the rules and regulations regarding covid safety seem to have been dreamed up by bored advarks with no common sense or real world experience.
Take hairdressing, you have to wash the hair before cutting it to remove any covid, but after cutting you cant dry the hair as that can blow the covid around the room... thats the covid you already washed off before starting Yes pure logic and government are strangers who have never met.
Same with visiting grandparents, you can visit one set but not the other, yet you can shop with a 100 strangers...
Back to weddings, as a wedding photographer with more years than I care to mention I cant really see weddings working too well for photographers in the near future.
You see contary to most people belief smaller weddings are harder to do. It's easy to get 500 nice pics from a 12 hour wedding with 200 people in a lovely location with gardens, much harder from a wedding with 25 people and just a 20 minute registry office service coming out into a council car park. Yet the couple still want a nice album.
