Officiating weddings, Jim recommends to couples that your faces be seen by all your guests.  Having your guests see you is the most dramatic, visually engaging, and photogenic aspect you can make to your wedding ceremony.  After all, your guests want to see you, and you invited them to this celebration to share this most wonderful of lifetime experiences with you,  Your wedding photography will improve radically; your guests will for once, be able to see and hear you, not just look at your butts.  And the elegance and openness of your pose tells everyone how proud you are of the loved one beside you.

 Notice the next two photos -- where the guests see only the couple's back, and barely hear anything, if at all!

Neither the couple's beauty nor the bridal party are seen.

Compare the above to these other two pictures where the couple can be seen and heard, and the couple also are communicating, looking at and touching each other.

The bride's beautiful gown, the lovely bouquets, the gowns and perhaps tuxedos of the bridal party members, are open and clearly offered to the guests to view in full array.

Any difference?  It is your choice, your preferences for the celebration.
