The day of the wedding everything is split before it all comes together as one. As a photographer its a task to cover both the men side and the women side. Luckily the men want the photographer around far less(usually) than the bride and her maids, but it is just as important to get the men--afterall they are to be half of this combined life--bride/groom, brides friends/grooms friends both families etc... At my nieces wedding I was glad to help out by hanging with the guys and making pictures of them getting ready. I mentioned a group shot of them all before they left the hotel so we just stopped on the stairs. Photograph by Uncle Dick
