Who says there cannot be repeat customers in wedding photography?

The reality of marriage may be glum today, but people don't get married with divorce in mind. Each wedding is valued highly - kind of like children within a family.

This fellow couldn't be trusted even at a mock 10th marriage...

Well, I have a few buddies that might argue with you on this one....."Each wedding is valued highly"....Maybe a "High Value" would be better fitting, as in "I lost all my stuff!"

BTW-This is in no regard inferring that Mrs Rupert would ever be that cold hearted type. And if she was.....I would give everything without a whimper.......and apologize for even considering my own needs.

The Obama message, "yes, you can" is powerful.

Where did that come from? Yes, it is a powerful message....... not all that sure that it is much more than lip service to the masses, but I fell for it. I may not be nearly as smart as I thought I was......I'll give him a chance...but the ice is getting mighty thin in Washington.......and all across America.

I agree with you Mike, which is why I no longer shoot weddings, I now specialize in shooting Divorces instead.
They're always happier afterwords, and I get just as many repeat customers as Peter does.
The best part is I've cornered the market over here, so I can charge whatever I want

If you really think about it, everyone pays far more to get divorced than married. Why should the Lawyers be the only ones capitalizing in on them
