Frank, having done a few of these things over the years, my suggestion, from the standpoint of someone who enjoys watching family dynamics at weddings <grin>, is: Let the hired person do it; sit and watch; shuffle your feet, fold your napkin, bite your nails, and let the hired person do it. Then, after this part is over, you can talk to your son and daughter- in-law about a newly-wed photo session, when all the stress and strain is past, you have them all to your photographic self, in a setting of your choosing, the lighting the way you want it, and crank out some photos you know you will like. (And, on a more personal note, I thought this part of my life would be spent with my wife, our children grown and out, watching our grandchildren, travelling....but it didn't go the way I thought it would. I would give all my gear, cameras scanners, printers, all of it, to be able to sit with her at our granddaughter's wedding some day, not taking pictures, just sitting and enjoying.) These are, after all, only photographs. They are not all of life. Peace, and enjoy the wedding! Ken ----------------------------------- The Rev.
