When you sit down for your meal we download memory cards and make a mini album so its not really practical to eat a knife and fork meal whilst doing that, sarnie in hand is much easier. 2. The timing of the meal when we have had a meal provided has sometimes been inconvenent, so it either turns up before we have finished shooting and so is cold when we get to it or it turns up right at the end of when guests have been served so were about to start shooting again. 3. Eating wedding food every weekend would do my waistline even more harm than its already had :-) Its always nice to be asked though!
