Enjoy the wedding and forget about the planning on the day. If you'll enjoy it your guests will as well.

As a documentary wedding photographer I think that all photos are important, but it's always nice to have at least one of the closest family portrait.
Don't worry about the weather. You can't do much about it (specially here in Scotland). As long as you'll enjoy the day everything's gonna be fabulous.
I was always passionate about the photography as a teen model and then on the other side of the camera :)
