The reality is not many would want to shoot a weddings back to back. It is a physical and mental grind. One August a few years ago I shot 7 weddings in 1 month and I was burnt the hell out. Ever since then, I never book back to back weddings anymore.

The reality is that most full time wedding photographers shoot anywhere between 12-25 weddings a year. I know some who shoot over 30, which I think is pure madness!!
