It’s no secret that I shoot 30+ weddings per year (I blog every wedding!) and there are multiple weekends where I shoot a double header. My friends in the business are always asking me “HOW do you do that without dying?!” (We are so dramatic 😂) so I thought I would share my insider secrets—besides the obvious “drink lots of water” not-so-secret secret 😂
A couple of weekends ago we celebrated David and Tamara’s wedding on Saturday (it was 92 degrees!)Then we celebrated with Madelynn and Brendan on Sunday!
how do you usually feel after one wedding day? If it feels like a MAC truck just ran you over, maybe just stick to one wedding per weekend. You can also implement all of my suggestions and see if you can feel a difference, then go from there. You can always hire more assistants to help carry your bags and do some leg work for you.
Make sure your weddings are somewhat close in proximity. If you’re having to drive 3+ hours from one destination to another, that’s something to consider.
For booking two weddings on one weekend I don’t necessarily think your brides NEED to know. But if you’re shooting three, definitely let your third bride know and make sure she’s okay with it. Because if you share on social media and your blog, she will see it anyway. No matter how in shape you are or how well you hydrate, you’re not going to be 100% on day 3. I have personally never shot a triple header and have ZERO intentions of doing so.
PS: if you don’t already know, I’m also an RN, and living my healthiest life is a top priority. I hope this helped you in some way or another! Comment below with your thoughts or if you have some tips for me!
Let’s be friends!
xoxo, Allison

Love it! I never thought about drinking pickle juice and no way could I drink cocoanut water… I normally just take a gatorade with me. I hate drinking a ton of water though because I’ll need to pee every 20 minutes!! I like the baby food idea too and yes most of them do just taste like applesauce!
Bobbye have you tried the pineapple coconut water? It’s so good! I can only drink regular coconut water if it has orange juice mixed in 😅
My faaaavorite baby food is Ella’s apples carrots and parsnips. It’s SO good!
