Through my conversation with the couple it's clear there is absolutely no issue regarding hiding or downplaying her pregnancy; but I was wondering if you ladies and gents have any tips for bringing out the best of the bride in this situation.

If she was pregnant during our wedding, we would want that special moment included. I don't think you should shoot from the shoulders up. Having a child is special and so is getting married. Those to things combined should make for great shots. DO NOT leave that out.
