Thought I’d opened a thread from the 70’s for a while.
No it won’t.I think that's harsh and rude - the OP is just making sure he hasn't missed anything off. The wedding will be different - so he has good reason to ask for some advice.

thank you
Bill
I seen another well known, well established photographer ask this exact same question a while back elsewhere. He was given lots of advice with examples around posing the couple. Just shows the difference I guess between here and other places.
As Gil Bev also says above, SOME people will have a problem with it. IMO these people shouldn’t be at the wedding. But that’s just my opinion.

Phil... I think that comes after the reception and I’m not sure (many) wedding photographers are expected to document that part!WTAF...?
There are people on this forum, like Phil V, who always give valuable and very helpful advice.
My comment may have been blunt, however I stand by the fact that it’s no different at all in he shooting of the wedding. As established wedding photographer will pose the couple regardless of gender to what looks good.
Unfortunately, forum life is a shambles at times, one reason why I don’t post here much anymore.

I definitely think the forum should be a more welcoming place. At times I think people will post here and never come back.
It all depends on attitude of the OP / original question...I seen another well known, well established photographer ask this exact same question a while back elsewhere.

I think you need to have a look at some other forums. This is about the most friendly, open, welcoming and generous place on the internet. Sometimes it does no harm to set people straight.I definitely think the forum should be a more welcoming place. At times I think people will post here and never come back.

“Is there some kind of checklist” (I’m paraphrasing) implies more going through the motions. Perhaps if asked “Does anyone have experiences to share and things I may not have considered with photographing a lesbian wedding” the replies would have been a little kinder.
I would ask the couple for an itinerary of the day. Gay weddings can be traditional or they can be quite alternative. Best man => lady. Also you have to remember there maybe an uncomfortable person there (although we live in a modern society as Gareth points out) there are people who still deep down don't approve so may be unhappy to appear in photos. I would say that it's not something you should ask - but more being able to sense it on the day.
No it won’t.
No more than all weddings are different.

It’s sometimes (especially online where we only have words not body language to support the words) difficult to know where someone is coming from with a short question like this.
Well, they seem to take photos of everything else these days!Warning inappropriateness to follow...

Context is everything.At the same time using langauage such as ‘what the actual f***’ is uncalled for, particularly in answer to a question from another member.
No it’s not.Seems to me the key to the OP's question was included in his request - how to deal with 2 brides - which is a significant divergence from conventional weddings.
Perhaps those with experience in the area might comment helpfully instead of trying to prove how modern they are?
No it’s not.
It’s 2 people getting married.
It’s not ‘different’.
How would you deal with 2 brides preparing at 2 separate houses, arriving in 2 separate cars etc? I don't know that this is what the OP is asking, but it doesn't require a large step of imagination to think that the circumstances might be different from a conventional B&G and at least allow a small BOOD.

Agree with this. I was trying to work out how two women differ to a man and woman (from a purely photographic slant). The only two i could come up with wereSeems to me the key to the OP's question was included in his request - how to deal with 2 brides - which is a significant divergence from conventional weddings.
