I've agreed to do the photography at a friends wedding this year. It still has no legal standing here, but the celebrant will still take their money and do a ceremony. I'm not sure at this stage how many of the traditional shots will still work without the girl in the white dress. Fortunately Michael has worked in advertising and will probably have a very strong idea of what he wants. Another friend up in Sydney is also getting married and that is going to be an interesting experience in tiptoeing around the culture. He is from a Greek family and contrary to a million jokes being gay is not an accepted part of life. I've also taken photos at a pagan wedding which wasn't as far removed from a regular ceremony as you might think. It was midday during summer and outside so harsh shadows were the order of the day.
