I was second shooting the preparation, ceremony, and portraits while Rhondda covered the reception solo. I have yet to fully appreciate Australian weddings as reception speeches can last for hours!!!! In America most reception coverage happens in just 3 hours…with speeches no longer than :10-20 minutes in total. I have heard that photographers in Australia mock stage cake cuttings, etc. because of the long receptions. Definitely a timeline I will soon learn as I head to Sydney next month for a wedding of my own.
