Not surprising.  I bet most reprints are the standard shots where you could
put down masking tape and have everybody stand on their spot.  Bet ya can't
tell much difference between weddings other than the participants are
different.  Blast them with a flash and get repeatable--and sellable--shots.
Use natural lighting and start to take artistic shots, and your market is
probably much different.  We're a self-selected group that would probably
tend to prefer the latter approach.  But we're in the definite minority.
