Default breastfeeding and time away

Jack is 10 months old and still nurses - no bottles or sippy cups. Usually, he clusters in the early morning nights, nurses again around 11-12, again around 4-5, and then falls asleep nursing around 9-10pm.

I have a potential LONG wedding coming up (I photograph weddings). I need to leave my house around 10 am and won't be home til midnight or so. I will not have the opportunity to pump during that time, or nurse Jack. I know he will eventually take a bottle while I am not there when he gets hungry enough. My question is - will this one day of essentially not nursing affect my supply at his age?? I will turn down the job if it will affect his nursing negatively, but I'd rather not. It's a lot of money to say no to, and it's for someone famous (can't say who, though).

Anyone have any opinions??
