Cheers Mark,
Yeah I do the same with the letting them get their shots first, though I
have noticed there are getting more and more of them, so sometimes you
just
have to step in and say sorry guys we are losing the light so we have to
get
moving.
I am in 2 minds about the weddings, s****t is pretty tough and not as
regular, commercial needs a heck of a lot more marketing. There is a lot
to
be said about specialising. I do enjoy shooting the weddings, it's the
post
wedding work that kills me, I need to find a good editor and album
designer
in Melbourne.
