Wedding photographers (that's us)

Nick and I are now a wedding photography team (she said, tongue in cheek). We've only done one wedding... but hopefully this is the start of great things to come! The day was stressful, exhausting, pressurised and chaotic...but enjoyable and an excellent experience. We went our separate ways at 2 pm to join up with the bride and groom in their different locations to photograph the 'before' stuff. The bridal party ran late so there wasn't time to get some relaxed poses beforehand of Claris on her own which was unfortunate. The ceremony ran smoothly; afterwards the family gathered at Longwood Gardens for the group shots - again, much chaos as we sorted through the various family groupings and crowds. After all the groups, the couple was all set to get to the reception - we had to remind them that we wanted some snaps of just the two of them! Then onto the reception where there were approximately 400 people attending the two receptions (the early reception was for the close family; the second one was the extended family/friend/dance reception which ended at 1 am). Nick and I left around 9 pm having photographed all the main events with tired feet and nearly one and a half thousand photos! It was a great wedding and I do believe that Paul and Claris enjoyed it immensely.

They look fantastic! The picture of the cake is the best; I love how you got the bride and groom out of focus in the back.

Do have any tips for me? :)
