The first wedding photography book I read dealt with exposure. The photog pre-focused his lenses to about 6 feet and set ISO to 1 stop over while packing his gear. Me, I'd rather shoot toilet bowel product shots than weddings. Grin.

The trouble with the "every wedding photog I know does this" argument is that everyone's wedding pictures end up looking everyone else's. (From what I've seen
of Tom V's, however, his are clearly above the cut.) Fortunately, I've only shot weddings when the people involved wanted to avoid the stilted plastic look that so many posed wedding photos have and who want the photographer to be inconspicuous for most of the day.
I have to disagree that the most important thing in the wedding is the wedding dress... what sort of shallow clients do you guys have? The most important thing is to capture the loving expressions on the bride and groom and the joy of the event reflected in those who have come to the event.
That being said, I'll lend my full support to one stop over for neg film most of the time :)
I'm a bit scrappy this morning
