This is the way to go. We've done it and had success every time. Our first wedding we asked that no one shoot and it was not a big deal to anyone. But after I read the above advice two or three iterations of this same thread ago. We have used this methodology.
If we get everyone posed and are ready to shoot and I see Uncle Bob with his 30D stand up, I just step aside and give him the floor. No kidding after a couple shots bride or mom will tell Uncle Bob to go wait in the damn hallway till we need him. No Joke It Works. And you get to be the nicest sweetest most patient guy/gal in the room.
