I was thinking perhaps a dickey or bolo tie would suffice. Good call on tucking the shirt in, I'll need to find taller stretchy pants.

Thanks Chet for the great lighting, this combined with my polaroid one step rainbow will make a winning combination.

I get these requests a lot, surprisingly, even though I've made it clear that I'm not equipped nor photographically educated enough to do weddings.
Ive noticed a trend here, those that dont do weddings get asked to do them a lot, those that do weddings dont get asked as often *generally speaking based on people I know*. I should state on FB that I do not do weddings, and wait for the requests to roll in.
