HOW MANY WEDDINGS TO TAKE PER YEAR

Wedding photography is like the magical potion that turns fleeting moments into everlasting memories. Imagine your big day as a captivating storybook, and the photographer as the skilled wizard who captures every enchanting chapter. Here's why wedding photography is not just important but also insanely fun:

1. TiPersonal Capacity:

   • Assess your ninja skills, coffee intake, and ability to tell dad jokes under pressure. If any of these decline, you might be overcommitting.

2. Quality over Quantity:

   • Remember, it's not about how many weddings you shoot; it's about how many photos you can take before the cake gets cut. Prioritize those epic cake-smashing shots!

3. Type of Weddings:

   • Gauge the wedding complexity scale from "Simple Backyard BBQ" to "Elaborate Cirque du Soleil Production." Adjust your monthly intake accordingly.

4. Business Goals:

   • Decide if your business goal is to become the wedding photography equivalent of a Michelin-starred restaurant or the neighborhood pizza place. Adjust your workload appetite accordingly.

5. Seasonal Demands:

   • Be aware of the wedding seasons in your area, and plan your workload like you plan your wardrobe for unpredictable weather - with a mix of everything!

6. Turnaround Time:

   • If your turnaround time is faster than a pizza delivery, you're probably on the right track. If it's slower, consider getting a jetpack.

7. Collaboration and Assistance:

   • If you have a team, make sure they can keep up. Remember, teamwork makes the dream work, but it also prevents you from turning into a stressed-out wedding-zilla.

8. Client Communication:

   • Be as clear with clients about your availability as you are about which lens to use for the perfect ring shot. They'll appreciate the transparency.

9. Market Competition:

   • Assess your market like you're playing a game of Mario Kart. Dodge the banana peels of overcommitment and boost your way to success.

10. Personal Life:

    • Prioritize your personal life like you prioritize catching the bride's bouquet. It might not guarantee happiness, but it's a good start!

11. Financial Considerations:

    • Think of your financial goals like you're trying to win Monopoly. Make strategic moves, avoid landing on Boardwalk too often, and you'll be the wedding photography tycoon.

1. Remember, a happy photographer is a funny photographer, so keep those laughs flowing while you navigate the wedding photography circus!
