I did a wedding from a friend yesterday, and frankly I'm thinking it's time to pack it in. I've done a lot of weddings over the years. But my age and health are working against me now.
While I enjoy doing them. Carrying a really heavy camera around all day is no fun. Plus wedding are not the same as they were years ago.
Back in the day weddings were organised, they sort of ran on time-ish and we knew what was happeing. No sadly it's just a fuck about.
Nobody knows or cares whats happening, the couple seem to just want to get steaming drunk and have fun. Ok fair enough, but having people standing around for hours trying to get pics is a PITA. Im my case it's real pain. I have a long standing back problem, coupled with joint pain I'm struggling some days to manage normal stuff.
What I dont need is being buggered about by people who are pissed. It's just not worth the pain on the day and the next day. Today, I'm in agony. Even doesd up on codine I can hardly get up and down the stairs
Trying to do the group photos was a nightmare, most couldn't give a shit, and the groom made it plain he wanted to be in the bar. Fair enough but tell us to go home then and dont whinge we you get bugger all pictures.
I know weddings can be stressfull for the bride and groom, but how bad can it be to get so pissed you can hardly stand before the service starts. If getting married to the love of your life is that bad. get your coat and fuck off to Norwich or some where. Time to pack it in while your ahead..
I've got a wedding next week my mates daughter, after that it's time for a proper think.
