I disagree. Smaller is not always the place to be.
Again, it all depends on your goal.
Do you want to play Basketball...Football...do you want to be a Sumo Wrestler??

Hi Pioneer!
Nice to read your thoughts here.
I’ve got apples. Did you bring the oranges? Just kidding!
Have a great week!
A sidebar:
A few years after digital photography got going, during client interviews, almost all wanted the files on a CD/DVD. I would follow up and touch base after the event/session to see if I could help, thinking a print order. The usual song I would hear was something like this, “I haven’t looked at the photos on the CD/DVD.” I guess they aren’t not important, no time and will get to look at them later . Maybe never. Kind of meaningless what camera I used. However, my coach and mentor once said to have a large camera body as that is what people thought a pro should use! His view started during the days when something like Graflex cameras were in use.

So they paid you to take photographs and then never looked at them? Not a lot of repeat work there.

Yup.
You’re correct.
Unless, of couse, it was a wedding and then they got divorced, down the road for most. Then maybe two more!

Do the bride and groom hire a photographer the second time around. I was thinking it would be something quiet down at the courthouse.

Yes, some do.
The second, or sometimes greater is a much easier wedding to photograph. Feet usually more firmly planted on the ground, not a cinderella story. No mamas to deal with.
One wedding I made photographs had college age children. The bride and grooms parents were still alive. Her father walked her down the aisle. I guess he was in his eighties. Smiles all over. Made some beautiful photographs.
Maybe many first weddings should forget the pro photographer relying on family and guests to make the photographs and hire the pro the second time around since half of them won’t last anyway.
The second weddings were actually a lot of fun to photograph. An associate did glamour photography and some of the brides to be would hire her prior to the wedding for a session and have the prints for the groom on their wedding day. Sexy!
Smiles.
