Jun 20, 2014 05:25 | #1 I will be shooting a golden wedding on June 28 and one not so good factor is present. The groom is on a wheel chair, he had a major heart stroke 7 years ago and paralyzed half of his body permanently, he talks numbly and drool drips from his mouth frequently. Any suggestions on how to shoot this wedding, I mean how can I make this golden wedding memorable on their photos. have no ideas on what angles should I shoot. Samples (if you dont mind) will be of great help. Thanks in advance.

For example the groom could be self conscious about the drooling so it may be advisable to step back at those times at not shoot. Or perhaps being paralysed on one side may mean he reacts a certain way depending on which side you are on. I don't know if there would be anything like that but it may be worth checking just in case. Wonderful advice Peter!!! Website
