I found that there was an expectation for a certain set of formal, almost ritualistic poses, and that people felt cheated if you took unposed shots. On the other hand, the only photograph I have ever taken that won any kind of award was a "candid" (unposed) shot of a bride and her father right before her wedding. These days I am very cynical about photographers at weddings and I often feel as though the weddings I attend are managed by the photograhers and not by the people being married.
