Ahhhh, newspaper shots and announcements. Gotcha.
Believe it or not that can be wide open. They can be casualy or formally dressed in a studio, home or outdoor setting. It's almost always a head shot be cause by the time it gets in the paper with the size they use and the "grain" of a newspaper image anything else will end up too small. Shoot color then covert to B&W for the paper. Unless of course the paper prints in color.
The bridal session would be full length, 3/4, and head shots. And a nice soft focus filter for the head shots, not all, can create a very nice dreamy feeling to the image. Use existing light and flash, and with existing light use some type of fill panel to fill in the shadows under the eyes. You dont want a bride that looks malnurished.
Now, if this is before the wedding
Flowers, for this could be artificial, Or just a single real rose. Take a look at the paper and see what they use. If at the wedding, do the same as above, but you"ll be under more of a time constraint.
Here, I usually do family pictures right after the main course is served, formals, if you didnt get them at the church, during the cocktail hour. But be quick and stay in command. Also a helper who can have the assignment to hold reflector panels, carry tripods, and just spot for stupid stuff that you might miss can be invaluable too.
I admire the work the video world does. You folks have to stick with the whole sequence where the photographers can just do that 125th of a second snipe, get in get out. Again experiment on someone to make sure you will be getting the effects you want and expect.
