In addition to Father Meeting the Bride: sometimes it’s hard to plan other people’s moves. You would assume the characters to follow the scenario while they start behaving their own way.
Recently I was shooting the bride walking downstairs, where she was supposed to be met by the family and the guests. I set the father at the bottom of the stairs and pushed the guests back so I could get clear shot.
The bride was on stand-by upstairs waiting for the queue. At 1-2-3 she started walking down, and walked, and posed for still photographer and walked again, and finally walked non-stop by her dad in clear view. Instead of spectacular shot of a hug and a kiss I have got a shot of the father with his jaw dropped and hopeless expression on the face. This was my second wedding in that family, and neither me nor the family have learnt the lesson.
A week later I set the father downstairs, climbed up to the bride and whispered: Don’t forget to kiss your Dad! It worked well.
Communication!
