Once the couple has recessed, I stick with them because those few brief moments immediately following the ceremony provide a wonderful opportunity to capture completely spontaneous, candid images with real emotional impact (Figure 5.15). The image-making frenzy continues as the wedding party and families show up with tears and hugs. It’s one of the best parts of the day (Figure 5.16).

Naturally, I adapt this approach based on each individual ceremony setup, but it’s a great starting point because it allows me to very quickly capture a wide range of shots for the ceremony. If necessary, I can run through the entire pattern in five minutes and know that I have the essentials covered: long overview, medium, and close-ups of the ceremony straight on; intimate, emotional images of both the bride and the groom from the sides; reaction shots from family members, wedding party, and guests; and close-ups of details such as placing of the rings, the hands during the vows, bouquets, and so on. It’s this range of perspectives coming together that really conveys the emotions of the day in an enduring way.

Figure 5.15. The moments immediately following the ceremony are ripe with spontaneous, genuine emotion.
