Very last-minute, throw lots of money at a wedding kinda culture from the limited, but reliable scope that I know. So coming from, I'll assume the US wedding shooting school, I get exactly why all that is throwing you completely off. And all that said, I can't help but agree with the main photogs on this one - if your own clients don't really fully care how the coverage will go, you should just learn to let it go and look at these kinda weddings as that 9-5 rather than your own masterfully executed day of art. It's YOUR work and art when your clients hire you to deliver just that to them, but when they just want someone with experience and gear to click the button from different angles to say they'll have the day documented for sometime never in the future, eh.I'd honestly look for another branch of photography where YOU have all the creative control and your results reflect exactly how much dedication you put in while you still live there. Having been to couple weddings now as a guest, read this thread and some others, I can honestly say that the most I'd be willing to do in the future if I graze this path of photography would be pre-wedding/couple/lifestyle gigs or tops just additional freelancer to the main team (just for cash rather than responsibility and having that weight on my shoulders/dealing with possibly snippy brides directly). I can see myself being more of a fish in the water shooting more contained subject matter with proper scheduling than lots of festive and uncontrollable crowds.</blockquote>
