But what you're forgetting here, is that this particular bride wanted a document of the 24 hours from rehearsal to ceremony - NOT a montage of sparkling eyes gazing into each other. She specifically said that I was not to worry about getting the stereotypical crap - that's what she had hired Potato Masher Woman for...And keep in mind, also, that both bride and groom saw my work before asking me to shoot - they knew what they were getting.

Colors, flowers, where, invitations, cake, food, etc. It's the bride to be and her entourage that runs around for weeks on end, before the wedding, like crazy, making sure everything is perfect. Typically, the groom stands around, gets fitted for a tux, has drinks with his buddies, shows up, and says I DO. The wedding is around the bride. A guy, typically, would be happy with the justice of the peace.
