After I work on the files and send the bride her files, I have concerns about what happens next (even though I send written instructions by email and in writing with the dvd). My first concern is that Ms Jones (I get tired of using “the bride”) will just leave the dvd on a desk [...]

Time
I get asked if I shoot 2 weddings in a day. I have a hard time doing 2 weddings in a week. Between the physical toll, it takes about 2-3 days to color correct, and enhance about 1000 photos. It is also true that most weddings are [...]
