The first wedding I ever covered for someone I didn't know. I was a nervous wreck and ran on adrenaline all day.
Observational, natural, personal, heartfelt, timeless
The fact that I cover so many weddings for people who know one another. I covered a wedding a few years ago where out of 80 guests I'd photographed 7 couples' weddings, that's a wonderful feeling.
Try not to get too caught up in what should happen at a wedding, think outside the box and make your day your own
Pennies as favours with a request that each guest throws their penny into the well in the corner of the room and makes a wish for the bride and groom.
I prefer very much to respond to situations on the day and so other than verifying timings and group photo requirements there's very little more to do before the wedding day itself.
Confetti shots!
By original I take it you don't mean good!? Probably a shot where it looks as though the bride standing in the groom's hands like the kind of shot where people look like they're holding up the leaning tower of Pisa!
Umbrellas!
I always have been, my father worked for Kodak and I studied photography at University
