After Covid19, wedding industry is going to be nuts.

4 years 2 weeks ago #681096 by MYoung
So far I've had to cancel 7 weddings that I had booked for photo sessions and 4 engagement sessions.  Looking at my calendar for the upcoming months few  months I have another 17 weddings and 5 engagement shoots that will need to be canceled.  All of these will be rescheduled (hopefully) when all this brushes over.  

I was just thinking this morning the venues are going to be nuts and many will want to expedite getting their nuptials out of the way fast.  Making things nuts for both me and venues.   I'm sure other wedding photographers are in the same boat.

Given that most venues can only accommodate events at a certain pace, and that guests need time plan (and possibly travel?) I think the only change well see is an acceleration, and the use of dates that may not have been preferred (e.g. a January wedding instead of June).

Those that want to get it done will find a way to have a tiny, private ceremony soonest (like the wedding I was supposed to be shooting today), and a big celebration in the future when things settle down.

Yes, you'll be busy, and it will help you get back on your feet. Are you applying for one of the new SBA loans (forgivable?) in the meantime?

OMG, that is an understatement.  I know others who have been in contact with their clients and many are following up weekly even during the current state.  Trying to keep in front of the line.  It's going to be nuts.

I think every business is going to be nuts after all of this.
