    Or more, ... I barely finished last Saturday's wedding, but had 7 portrait shootings last Sunday, so I am WAY behind at the moment :cry, but at least I won't have any weddings for 2weeks. I think by this weekend I'll be weddingt' out for a while headscratch.gif

    I kinda know your pain. I've done a couple of week-ends where I had two all-day weddings on two successive days. It took me three days to recover and I really wasn't even close to 100% for the second. I really can't imagine doing a 3-fur. Wow!

    Well, I DO appreciate the weddings, just wish they wouldn't be on the same weekend. So it's actually 2 weddings, but both of them got spread out over 2 days each, so 3 days total - 1.5 days each (one is indian, the other cambodian) .... I just couldn't have EVER said no to one of them, especially since one of them was one of my old work colleagues. And I LOVE international weddings, all the ceremoonies I had sofar, were sooo wonderful.

    Boy, but the cambodian wedding was definitely exhausting. The groom & bride started at 6am (having slept 2h the night before) - I didn't start until 8am, and it went on until 9pm .... I could have never imagined going through all of those ceremonies AND keep smiling.

    I am feeling VERY lucky to have been invited to share both of those weddings, and feel very honored, .... but boy, what a weekend! thumb.gif

    Hope there's at least a good financial reward working 1 wedding for 13 hours, not to mention the upcoming processing. eek7.gif

    Nope, the groom was a friend from mine and I did it basically for free, and the other wedding ... they paid, but I didn't ask to get paid for my extra hours (I stayed for 3 extra hours at the reception) as everybody was running late .... allllll the time (but don't they always do that?) + they were friends of my neighbors, so I was glad to stay longer (eventhough I was exhausted by the end of the 3rd day)

    ... so ..... not a good weekend $$$-wise, but I would do it again in a heart beat ... well, in a year or so .... after I recovered from this marathon, haha rolleyes1.gif I had definitely a wedding (photography) hungover yesterday! Boy!!

    Some of the photos can be seen on my blog, won't post them here, might start a thread at some point with a few, but now I need to get to work :beatwax

    This weekend's damage: 7,200 photos!!! :hang

    Yeah ... thanks Heather & Urbanies! Don't even know where to start, I still haven't finished working on my (boudoir) shooting from the Sunday before, and I need to get the b-pic albums ordered before their weddings .... hmmmm ... please shoot me.

    Luckily I don't have any weddings for 2 weeks ... but did book a trash the dress for this Sat ... should be fun, guess it's a birthday gift for myself, even though it just means more work for me rolleyes1.gifdgrin

    And as for the template, easy peasy in PS :D
