The kiss...
I believe there are two first kisses: 1) The real first kiss, and 2) The "second first kiss."
While every ceremony is different, most usually end with the officiant winding down to the big moment, the bride and groom (and everyone else) waiting for their official pronouncement. Then suddenly, it is upon them, and the groom may kiss his bride.
The "second first kiss" happens when the groom suddenly realizes he is indeed married to the woman of his dreams, and can kiss her anytime he wants to. So he does it again! These are the fun ones, the kisses that make magnificent pictures.
If you are headed down the isle, and want a great first kiss picture (or later kiss picture) I have a couple of suggestions:
1) Make it last, ensuring lots of time for your photographer to capture it. And it's fun. :)
2) I love it when the groom places his hands on the bride's face and draws her in. Why not include a dip? There is no harm in practicing your kiss! Probably you will agree with me. I know. I'm a bad influence. Grin.
3) Photographers should take advantage of the moment right before that kiss. Almost kissing, eyes closed, both bride and groom in their own world. It's even better than the kiss...
4) Consider manufacturing a "first kiss" if the first isn't as interesting as you'd like. It's all for the cause, right?
5) lastly, there are other kisses to consider, like the smooches given to mothers and grandmothers. Those are special, just ask 'em.
