Too many photographers these days walk in front of the guests to get from the Bride's side to the Groom's side and they don't care. Worse is when there is available space behind the alter, or the centre piece, Photographers move behind and capture the bride and groom. The entire purpose of wedding photography and videography is to remain unobtrusive while getting your shots. This video perfectly outlines how to correctly shoot a ceremony unobtrusively. Think of it like a stage, you would never walk up on to the stage while the performers are performing, so why do it at a wedding? This video is excellent.

The more you do - the more you learn. Including where to stand because each of your weddings comes with their own story lines. What ever we plan to execute never takes place so you learn to go with the flow and be at 38 places at one time. Wedding days are my longest days. So even when hired to do 8hrs of coverage - for me it's a 12-15hr day concentrated on the wedding day. No one ever beats me to the church nor the reception. - Giraud

Good video Katelyn. One of the best ceremony angles you did not mention is from the officiant’s perspective with the guests as the bg. Even a tight closeup of the ring exchange. Even the first kiss. Many of our couples love this shot. Just need to educate them beforehand. Especially in outdoor non church settings. A 35 works the best generally.

@@KatelynJames absolutely it can be. It’s important to let the officiant know before the ceremony begins that your couple wants those close up intimate shots that require us photographers to be very close at times. Church ceremonies however, are a different story.

This is so helpful! Thank you! Photographing weddings reminds me so much of theatre. It's a bit stressful and chaotic, with high-stakes, highly problematic if you fail, and you only get one chance to get it right (per performance). It's important to know your role, to have your choreography down, to know exactly what to say and do for each part of the event so you can be cool and confident and hopefully not make any major mistakes. It's also important to be ready to improvise and to stay calm and roll with the punches.

Great detailed instructions. I always coordinate meeting whom ever provides instructions - to how weddings are conducted inside a church ceremony. This is where you are told what your shooting limits are. Especially using flash. In all the weddings I've done - somewhere around 70% don't allow flash. And in some cases - no walking down the center Isle. Thanks Again Karly. - Giraud
