As some here know, I did my nieces wedding last summer. She was very
pleased with the pictures. I thought she might be just being polite, so
I asked her father recently, and got the same reassurance. It was my
second attempt to photograph a wedding. It was definitely a stressful
day. But like women having babies, I guess you forget the misery after a
while, so I'd probably do it again if under the same understandings.
Luckily, I found this list just before the wedding, in time to get some
really lifesaving advice (especially from John Lind), but too late to
back out. Internet sites were a great help for examples of posing.
The first wedding was a few years ago, for a friend's daughter who
couldn't afford a real photographer. I gave them the rolls of exposed
film, and to this day I haven't seen the pictures (not sure I ever want
to), but they were satisfied as well. Back then I didn't have a clue
about posing, so I imagine they were all face on, etc.
So it is possible, but then, I live in Canada, not the US.
