Above photo is a shot of the road heading out to the east entrance of Zions.... I suppose even the beautiful red rocks of southern Utah can look good with a little dusting of snow.

Good Manners for a Wedding Shoot
Just a few important points to remember when shooting a wedding ceremony, that have nothing to do with lighting or composition or ISO setting.
WHERE IS YOUR GOOD SENSE !
1- Your are not there to be part of the event. You are supposed to be as invisible as possible.
2- Never forget the first rule if you have been requested to shoot during the ceremony.
Sometimes the Bride might need a reminder that a wedding is real, it is life, and to experience it completely, without a photographer stepping into the middle of it, shooting away, or blocking the view of others with all the light boxes and other equipment and an assistant in tow, vying for space with the flower girls.
3- Sure you want to build your portfolio, but do it on your own time. You have not been hired to disrupt their special day because you want 500 shots to edit - when 75 really good ones that never need a bit of editing would be far better.
If you want a shot that looks like you are right up there with the pastor, minister or judge....just invest in a good zoom lens on a second camera, and help bring back some sacredness to the event.
Wow, I feel so much better now that I got that off my chest.
By the way....I was so happy with the photographer we hired for the last wedding I paid for... she was absolutely great!
