I'm not gonna lie.. July was crazy town. It was probably one of the busiest months we've ever had with weddings that literally book ended the country every week.. up to The Lakes and back.. back up to the Lakes the following week.. down to Rye in Kent.. up to the West coast of Scotland.. then Worcester.. Kent.. Surrey. We are Service Station connoisseurs.. Premier Inn regulars.
Fridays are travel days.. shoot the wedding Saturday.. drive home that night.. Sunday lie like broccoli amongst camera bags and unpacked overnight bags (literally I am fit for nutin').. then try and cram in culling, editing (a lot of weddings), backing up, emails, enquiries, blogging, invoicing, sending weddings to blogs, meeting couples, Engagement Shoots.. (oh and try to still see friends and not ignore every text that I get - sorry guys).. all before Friday smacks us in the face again. No, but seriously Monday to Thursday reeeeeeeally isn't long enough.. AT ALL.
Oh and let's just decide to sell our house too shall we? In peak wedding season? With only two weekends off until November? Ohhhh go on then!
I am officially mental.
Ps. Pete read this post and said that I sound like I'm moaning.. hmmmm.. I suppose I am a bit.. but not with the work.. the weddings have been super duper spine tinglingly awesome.. it's just the distinct lack of enough days in the week that's the problem.
Oh dear, what a summer you're having!
ReplyDeleteWe also had the wonderful idea of moving mid-season, and we're also furnishing :D I feel your pain (just replace the car with trains...lots of trains).
I'm sure you'll be alright, you two are a great team ♥
Mental......but fabulous!!
ReplyDeletecrazy busy but fabulous!
ReplyDeleteKnow the feeling... but I would rather it is this way, than the other!
ReplyDeleteWhy do just one thing when you can do 104 things?! While my little photography business is only just getting off the ground, I know where you're coming from. I've been busily working on that whilst also doing a full time job, finishing a full-time Paramedic course (which I've been doing for the last 5 years), settling in to our new home and planning a wedding this coming September! I have no idea where the last 8 1/2 months have gone but I have loved every minute and still somehow have managed to squeeze in trips away and plenty of lunches/dinners/outings with friends. My life has never been busier and I'm loving it. I hope, one day, my business is half as successful as yours but yeah, maybe one more day in the week might help things out a little bit!!
