[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 260670, member: 14443"] its a bit different where I live. its much more simple. we arrive where the bride is at the hair/makeup salon (winter 1, summer 2:30), she does her business and we shoot that. then the groom pics her up an hour or so after. we go to 1-3 locations for shooting to take advantage of the lighting. then we all drive to the venue, photograph the formals, guests arrive from 7-7:30, ceremony, dancing, and im dead tired at the end which is around 1am or later. sometimes its a buffet style serving so they eat after the ceremony, sometimes its a serve style wedding and after the ceremony they come in, a little dancing, and the first break for first course, then dancing, then second, and no break for dessert. whoever wants, can simply go take what he wants from the table theyre serving from. in between the breaks I do pictures with the family and BG with friends at the tables. it looks like crap but thats the situation you have to deal with. 2pm is too late for you to start, although I dont know when the sun sets for you (if you plan on doing location BG pics in the first place) if not, I see its at 5:30-6:40. basically pitch black outside. youre screwed. sorry to say it so bluntly. you just need to be aware of your situation photography/light wise. if the BG location pics arent important for them then so be it. shoot a few together boring standing together and be done with it. but for the folks here, those picture are pretty much the most important ones besides formals and ceremony. theyre all important but for the designing of the album those BG pics make all the difference. almost like a modeling shoot. we use flashes with slaves and create backlight sidelight, whatever. we do some crazy stuff. again, I dont know how important it is and how strong you are with that. every one has their strengths and weaknesses with wedding coverage. btw, is this indoors or out? you said beach previously.
