Normally happens right after the bouquet toss. As with the bouquet toss, the DJ or the band would call all the single men on the dance floor. The newly married couple would be around already.
The bride will be seated on the chair in the center of the dance floor. If there is nobody to offer a chair, take the initiative, borrow the chair from the closest table and place it the way you like. Consider lighting and the background.
In most cases the groom is supposed to kneel down, reach under bride’s dress and pull the garter from her leg with his teeth or hands. Use low angle technique. Shoot from you hands down using wide angle. Show the groom diving underneath the dress, pan up to the bride’s face (reaction shot), pan down back on groom, move over - show reaction of the guests and single men if you have enough time for that. Don’t just miss the moment when the groom shows from under the dress with the garter in his teeth.
The rest is similar to the bouquet toss shooting.
