  • Shooting weddings is uniquely draining, physically and mentally. 16 hours on your feet carrying weighty kit, putting your body in awkward positions to get the right angle, needing to stay hyper alert so you don’t miss the perfect shot, constantly thinking ahead, all with the added pressure to not fuck things up. I’ve done some really gruelling location work with even longer days but weddings are always the hardest.

    This is accurate. The best I ever saw lasted about 2 minutes, after hours of sitting watching basically nothing. Everyone else had long gone inside but I still had my camera set. Absolutely worth sitting alone on a hillside, it was by far the most amazing thing I’ve ever witnessed.

    It also helps to let your eyes accustom to the dark, IIRC 45 minutes is ideal.
