Re: Leave the aisle free?
I let the photog know that, as long as its only for a moment or two, its fine if they block my aisle cam. Unless they've proven themselves less than reasonable earlier in the day :)

Re: Canon 5Ds
Pixels, pixels, whose got the pixels?

Re: Listing prices on website
Make it simple, whatever you do. The last thing you need to do is offer to many options and cause the "paralysis of choice" and they just move on.
2 or 3 choices at the initial point, that's it. ...

Re: Credits anyone?
Over here we have plenty of time during the pre-ceremony. Most couples do some or all of the formal pictures before, and one of us can shoot details and the other does interviews or credits shots.

Re: Credits anyone?
I may start doing one but it would be a simple standing interview style shot, off center, so I can put their name next to their head shot.

Re: Listing prices on website
