Ok, Internet, it’s Monday. Usually Mondays don’t hold the same disdain for me as they do the rest of the world because my weekdays are never the same. Monday isn’t always the ‘day you have to return to reality’ for me. However, today I woke up feeling like my body might have been run over by a semi in the middle of the night. In fact, I was pretty sure of it actually. Fatigue was paying its weekly visit and a case of the Mondays was knocking at my door.
I had the joy of shooting some friends’ wedding last night and it was just that…a joy. I had a blast and the day was beautiful! Once again, I was reminded why I love what I do and how blessed I am to be doing it. I went to bed exhausted but happy. Today I woke up though with what I call the ‘wedding hangover.’ (don’t worry…it’s just a phrase). Mmmhmmm…it’s an inevitable side effect of every wedding I shoot. You see, when I get in to ‘work mode,’ I can’t get out of it. Once wedding days start, I am in THE ZONE, people! My heart, mind and body are all poured in to that day and capturing it the best way possible. Ask my second shooters and they will tell you, I go hard and I don’t stop until the end. Hence…the wedding hangover. As soon as the music stops and the send-off is complete, I start to come down from my ‘photographer’s high’ and the crash sets it. Without fail, I wake up the next morning with my body screaming in rebellion, ‘No more wedding hangovers!’
Well good thing it’s mind over matter because there are many more ‘wedding hangovers’ to be had and they are all worth it! I just may spend the rest of the day a little more sluggish than usual…
Happy Monday!
