It's always important to grab a shot of the dinner plates and tables before the ceremony starts...if possible. That's providing that there is enough time between you doing the couple shoot and when the venue lets the wedding guests into the Ballroom.  For my wedding at the Laguna Beach Montage we made arrangements to make sure I was in there before the wedding guests were allowed to enter.  This really made for such opportunity for photography....

One of the funnest things to shoot in weddings is the Jewish Hora which is when this image was taken at the Montage Laguna Beach for my wedding there.  As a photographer you REALLY have to commit yourself to getting in there and capturing the shots because it can get real crazy, real fast.  But it's seriously one of the funnest parts of any wedding reception that I shoot.  Hope you like it!
