p.1 #1 · five weddings in the last three weeks....I'm getting tired bros.

Just got home from my 5th in three weeks. One more to go next weekend. Then it's a few months off. I am really looking forward to recharging my batteries before the start of the spring season.

The hardest part for me is not the physical aspect, rather the mental part of shooting. It's hard to be really creative after a while.

I'm kind of the opposite. The more I've been shooting the more creative I've been. Provided though I'm not completely exhausted before the shoot and not up to my normal game.

Interesting.

I'm completely the opposite. I hate having large breaks between shoots. I feel like I really start to hit my creative sweet spot when I have several shoots close to each other on the calendar.

I hate having large breaks too... when I have weddings three weeks in a row, the last one is always the best.

I used to get burnt out, but the last time I shot 8 weddings in a month I started to become more familiar and used to/comfortable with it.

I'm with you, Jim. I don't have as much problem being creative when I am shooting a lot, but I have felt myself starting to get a little mentally fatigued. It's been a great but looooong year. We are down to 3 more weddings, then we have about 6 weeks without another wedding. Hallelujah

Nope. I'll be be playing golf, attending a bridal fair, and hanging with my family. By the way, I've already finished editing all five weddings that I shot in the last three weeks, along with a couple of e-sessions and corporate shoots. Thats just how I roll son.

I don't have a "day job" and my wife works two, three nights a week so I can get a lot done during a typical week.
