I agree with B.D. that when they say "we weren't even aware of your being
here" you have given yourself a chance to get good candid shots and have a
happier client. The more formal stuff, of course, requires a little more
presence of the photographer. Speed is important then as the people do want
to get on to other things. I did one wedding where the mother of the bride
wanted absolutely no posed pictures. The mother of the groom wanted all the
traditional stuff but she was not paying me. That was not a good situation
but I survived. I am thankful that I no longer do weddings. /jim

I'm not famous, don't have assistants, don't use radio slaves, and do
NOT ask the wedding party to stand still for one, must less, 1000 shots.
That's how I do it. And what people I shoot, whether families doing
nothing for a day, or brides, grooms, and their loved one's, invariably
say at the end of the day is "we weren't even aware of your being here."
