My wedding photography is planned, but never rigid. I carry at least two cameras, one for the photograph that I intend to take next, and the other, often with a longer lens, to catch the "moments", as they happen...

For the big group shot, I'll be up a ladder or hanging out of a window with the wide angle lens:

"Everybody smile!"

"Everybody wave!"

And then, "Kiss the person next to you!"

This produces some wonderful reactions, caught first with the main camera and then, a second later, with the long lens, sweeping right across the wedding party. Plenty of romantic moments to be caught there...

And sometimes... just who kisses who!

I tend to set up a scene, and then go with what happens. So, during the signing of the register, I'll position everyone carefully, arrange the bouquet, make sure the cap has been taken off the pen (technically, we're not allowed to photograph the real signing so we mock it up immediately afterwards) and ask everyone to smile.

But then I'll keep going, often with that other lens, catching the looks between the happy couple, between the parents, and, just occasionally, between a bridesmaid and the best man. You never know.
