When I shot my first Catholic wedding as a young photographer the priest started to tell me each part of the ceremony I should get a photo of. He immediately could tell that he lost me so he instructed me where to stand and each time it was appropriate to make a shot he would look at me and wink. Every time he winked I made a photo of what was going on. I was standing within five feet of him and felt very conspicuous, but everything worked out well. My wife was in the balcony with a camera making time exposures and she said I ruined all her photos because I was standing there in them. The Bride and Groom loved the album. Bill Grimwood
