Have I mentioned how much I love this online resource for wedding information? www.wedpix.com

It has some great articles relating not just to wedding photography, but things to expect on your wedding day. One article I recently read on the latest issue hit home for me, it's called "Wedding Party Roles" Check it out if you can, it's a good read from the wedding photojournalists perspective on how to prep your wedding party for being photographed by a photojournalist. I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me, said perfectly by photojournalist Nate Kaiser

"Kaiser agrees. He has experienced bridesmaids who want to stage situations that were photographed at their own weddings—like requesting he photograph the bride’s head going under the veil, and then insisting that she do it again and again to make sure he gets the right shot."

This is the most awful position to be put in. First, I don't want to offend the bridesmaid by not doing it, and the bride is then in a position to say she doesn't want that shot, thereby implying that the bridesmaids pictures are...well, cheesy.

Food for thought as you slog through the mire of wedding planning!
