Wheel chair please.

4000+ images after two weddings this past weekend and David is pooped.

All went well. Fantastic portraits throughout. Beautiful scenery, couples and participants.

The exceptions to the weekend were two: The first wedding, a young lady guest who who insisted (loudly) two times that David should pose his groups with the mountains in the background. Great idea except for the fact that she was telling David (rather than requesting); and it would have required hi to shoot directly into the bright sun; and because of the staging area, a railing and large table would have been directly in front of the bride, groom and other well-dressed attendees.

The second wedding included a very persistent portly person who confidently required that David hold EVERY formal pose long enough for her to snap her prosumer camera 2-3 times after he created his official images. She then proceded to stand one foot behind David throughout the formal portraits - never getting a clue that everytime he accidently bumped into her from behind his tripod that, just maybe, she was out of place. The result, cummulatively, added 20 minutes to the formal poses-taking away valuable time at the reception. But we're certain that she'll flaunt her images proudly to friends and family as if the lighting, posing and smiles that David created were her own magical concoction.

Wedding guests are becoming so rude. David's decided that he may have to start wearing a sign on his back that says "If you can read this sign you're following to close."
