Fuck that.
Bingo!

I constantly get people asking, "Do you shoot weddings?" No. So they ask me why not? And I always say simply because its a genuine pain in the ass dealing with people and their unrealistic expectations. Plus there's far too many variables I wouldn't have full control over that can lead to potential disaster and a bunch of pissed off people in the end.

Shooting interiors...now that may be an area of interest...perhaps a venue to explore eventually.

Partially selling out may be an option - if it attains the overall goal in the end. Certainly time will tell...
