The most stressful part of a wedding is the packing

This weekend we have 3 weddings> I have been packing since Tuesday. Unbelievable.

You see the way we work is that when we go to weddings it's on our day off. We expect to arrive with all the equipment in the exact place it is supposed to be. Tested. Batteries charged. Bolts tighten.

It's Murphy's law

In the past when packing was rushed - that was usually the time that something went wrong. Either a battery died, or a back jammed. You name it, it can happen.

So few years ago - I was sitting on the beach in Florida in March and I had a brilliant idea - stress before chill later.

Every single detail for each wedding is planned for. Back up lights, bulbs, extension cords, tripods, camera, video cameras everything!!

Then I got even smarter. We pack most of the idea as we leave each previous wedding and the rests on Thursday. This way if I have to go and pick up from the store anything I have 2 days to do it. This week though we are packing for 3 weddings so I started on Wednesday.

Thank God Saturday is tomorrow so I can relax!


Count down to Miami. 15 days. I have a meeting with a photographer that speciazilies in Digital Art books. Hope it's something cool. All to often what looks great on the web is actually not that great in person. That is the reason I insist on meeting every bride and groom before they book. You won't believe how many people try book us over the internet never having ben to the studio. I think it is because they don't want to lose the date.
