This really captures something special that we, Emerald Eye have been doing naturally. On reading this it helps clarify how important those Sideline Shots are. (From WPJA)
AWAY FROM THE MAIN WEDDING STORY: SIDELINE SHOTS
Some wedding photographers may feel the need to include the bride or groom in every picture, but those photos convey only part of the day’s record. With so many little stories and moments surrounding the main event, most WPJA members will probably tell you that you’re not fully documenting the day unless you get out there on the periphery and record the subplots of the wedding day—the unique and intersecting stories of the guests as they enjoy the festivities.
We call these types of pictures “sideline shots,” and they are distinct from the standard reaction shots that you or your second shooter may capture during the walk down the aisle, the vows or the cake cutting. Sideline shots tend to be further away from the primary wedding day rituals, both geographically and thematically.
Sideline shots broaden and deepen the story of the day, and are in fact an essential part of the record. Grab some good sideline shots, and your clients will thank you.
