Photographer Michael McLane has of course photographed weddings, and in doing so has learned to respect those that do it as a profession. As Mike expressed it to me after acting as photographer at his niece's wedding:

I had a great time and a lot of fun doing their wedding, but it was a hell of a lot of work. It was a big wedding in Palm Springs. I started shooting about 10:00 AM and finished about 9:30 PM. I have a whole new respect for the guys that do that for a living. I really don’t want to do anymore weddings!

Take a look at the wedding photos by Mike McLane taken at his niece's wedding.
