I can't come up with a single reason it should be any different.....
Sure I find 2 women kissing a little erotic, and two men a little unnerving....
but thats me being a hetero male pig. My bad....
truthfully, give it your best, It's thier day and they deserve nothing less.
two human beings, want pictures of the most important day of thier lives.
I'm not gay. My religious views are not for it. Yet I find myself thinking that there are lot's of people out there, that will give you a good reason hate them. (and you're supposed to forgive them).
And they come from all walks of life, all cultures, all religions and you have to look past the differences to get to the essence of what makes all human and all equall.
Where two people who've meant, nor done me any wrong, find love and happiness is not for me to judge.
so the differences, in my opinion lie not in the couple, or the ceremony, but in whether or not, you as a photographer will treat the job, or the couple any differently.

there is a thread on how-to somewhere in the forums.

blow on it.
if that fails:
rocket blower.
if that fails:
brush from lenspen.
if that fails:
chamois side of lens pen.
if that fails:
microfiber cloth and lens cleaning solution.
if you need to get agressive, spend some time reflecting on what you might do differently next time to keep it clean when shooting.

here's my take with the reversed lens, and a really cheap ($1.00) lighting modifier.
pen

walnut

Getting the wrong HAL, or one that is having trouble talking to the hardware due to some incompatibility can definitely lead to big problems

Been trying to install windows for 6 weeks now. Sounds simple enough (done it over 100 times before, including this machine), but I just can't install windows.
(I'm sorry I can't help you with that, but I hope, with a little laugh, and a grain of salt, you'll accept my suggestion to switch to Mac.)javascript:emoticon('')

reinstall the original drive, and install windoze on it.
clone the drive onto your new drive (in an external case).
swap the drives and see if it boots up?
that is how I swaped my 60 gig 5400 rpm hd on my macbook for a 100 gig 7200 rpm (although both were sata drives)

I don't think there's much difference....in the ceremonies...but as the issue is being addressed in canada and manitoba, I'd love to hear from couples as to what they'd want in a photographer/photo package.
as a nich market, it's the feed back from your clients that must drive your marketing.
Go back to your couple and ask them what you did right! ask them for referrals and ideas.
KNOW YOUR MARKET!
