Although I once derived a very nice living from Wedding Photography, I am coming to the conclusion that the whole wedding shoot performance is unnecessary.
There are two clues to this... Apart from a framed shot of the Bride and groom how many other shots do you see in peoples homes.
Ask any couple two or three years down the line, as to how often they look at their wedding album, and in most cases you will be met with a blank stare.
I would rather see the return of the early victorian way, of having a studio (or Location) shoot with the Bride and Groom and then a family shoot including the first borne some time later.
As for the other shots that might be taken on the day. Those provided by Guests are more than sufficient and are usually more personal.
Perhaps the provision of a personal webpage where guests and others could download their efforts would, in todays "facebook" age be more appropriate.
I of course do not expect wedding photographers to agree. :bonk:
