From time to time, I like to talk about other people who also work at weddings and are instrumental in making the day very special.
Intermezzo Chamber Players are classical string music professionals who have extensive experience performing at ceremonies of all types. Carol Premack runs the group and is incredibly knowledgeable about how to arrange music for different ceremonies, and different parts of a given ceremony. You can see firsthand just how savvy she is on her blog -- the breadth of her knowledge and the range of music she plays is really impressive.
(Carol's son Jay Premack happens to be an outstanding Washington DC based photojournalist and wedding photographer, and I thank Jay for introducing me to Carol)
Rev. LisaAnn Donegan of Ceremonies From the Heart is ordained in interfaith practice, and like Carol, has a wide range of experience at a variety of ceremonies to draw upon. LisaAnn does plenty of weddings, but she also does other occasions such as baby namings, anniversaries, birthdays, etc.
I often tell clients that I try not to follow a formula when I photograph their special day -- that I really strive to get at what makes their particular celebration special. I can say with confidence that Carol and LisaAnn do the same -- they have a very special and distinct way of relating to their clients, and they can adapt to any situation. I feel privileged to be able to work with them whenever I can, and I recommend them both extremely highly!
