For candids I just shoot. For posed studio type images, whether done in the studio or on location at the church in a Sunday school room, I usually start with the groom and pose him seated on a stool at a 45 degree angle to the camera facing to the photographer's left. Then I have him turn his face only toward the camera. He should lean in over the belt buckle. Then I pose the bride behind him standing and leaning onto his back with her left hand on his shoulder. This will show the ring well. Tip her head toward his, but not his toward her. Light them from camera right. Her mouth should be at the same level as his eyes.

P.S. Where in LA do y'all live?
