[QUOTE="hark, post: 548321, member: 13196"] I'm from the US and agree with the comments offered by the others; however, I didn't see any attacking. I've only done one wedding although I've been asked to do a few--it simply isn't my thing. As the others have mentioned, there tend to be several people hired who all have their own important jobs to perform...DJ, photographer, possibly a wedding planner, clergy, the people working at the venues, hair stylists, videographers, and possibly others (not to mention the pushy family members ;)). Everyone needs to do their share without taking center stage. As Moab Man said, it is a collaboration of everyone working together. From my own observations at weddings, sometimes the wedding party gets a little sloshed before they even make it to the reception--not sure whether that happens where you are located--so it might be difficult to get cooperation from the married couple DURING the wedding/reception. But then, it IS their wedding day, and they should be left to enjoy their moment. After all, most likely they spent a lot of time beforehand making sure they chose the best people to do the jobs. Before shooting the only wedding I've ever done, I came up with a list of photos I wanted to ensure happened. If there was any question about the possibility of not getting a shot, I asked well before the wedding took place. The host at the venue was FANTASTIC and made sure I was up front for all the photos--something that probably doesn't happen often. But most of the pros who shoot weddings for a living either know how to pull them off despite the constant obstacles they face each and every time, or they really stink at what they do. Wait...let me rephrase that: Most [I]photography pros[/I] who shoot for a living either are capable of pulling off their photo shoots despite the constant obstacles they face each and every time, or they really aren't pros. :beguiled: Ya gotta be flexible like Gumby--and that is a comment in general--not to anyone in particular. Just my humble opinion. It's that way no matter what occupation we hold. [/QUOTE]
