I have only second shot 5 weddings now, but I am just starting to see how it can become \"work\" and not just fun. There is far more structure/repetition to the shots, and many clients would prefer safe shots that are in focus to a photographer who pushes hard for every frame to be interesting.
Weirdly enough, I think in some ways my day job (engineering) offers more opportunities for creativity, and has less repetition. It is a weird realization to have.
I am still looking forward to shooting more weddings this year, but I can definitely see how full time pros can get burned out.
