Train the Couple on the Kiss at the End of the Ceremony

You absolutely don’t want to miss a couple of must-have moments during every wedding, such as the kiss at the ceremony, and you may need the couple to help you capture those moments. You may be thinking, “I’m sure people know how to kiss; why do I need to train them?” The problem arises when the kiss is just a quick peck on the lips, which doesn’t leave you much time to take photos!

Five seconds seems like a long time, but chances are they’ll count a little fast, so it’s a good starting point.
