If wedding photography had a high risk of death from heat stroke, I'd be happy for you to have to deal with local regulations putting some boundaries on how you abuse your employees while risking their lives.

Sorry about the inconvenience, but maybe being an employer isn't for you if you don't give a damn about the people for whom you're responsible.

It's not about not giving people breaks, it's about unknowingly breaking laws.

My wife is my only second shooter so obviously she's treated well, or she wouldn't do it. In my contract is the clause that we can't be subjected to dangerous working conditions, and a few weeks ago I had a wedding where I absolutely needed to take a break to sit in the shade and drink.
