I tried to add PJ stuff to my weddings in the '70s, but I found there just
wasn't enough time for one person to do it all.  I had my hands full just
rounding up all the usual suspects and getting them properly posed.  It
didn't pay anyway - I figure that out of 24 album prints, 16 or so would be
formal poses, 6 would be casual poses and maybe a couple would be PJ
candids.

You can cut out the PJ shooting and no-one notices.  Blow a Mexican
Execution of the grandparents and you get threats of lawsuits...

(obLeica) I swore 15 years ago that the next wedding I shot would not be
with an M6, it would be with an M16.  So far no-one's asked me >:-)
