I'm often amazed at the number of photographers who don't even attempt to educate the couple on advantages of doing any altar shots before the wedding.
Let's start a new thread on the topic.
It's far easier to convince a couple to do it before hand, IF you've educated them. I've started a new thread.

Do you think the florist says..."half now, half later"?
How about the cake designer? ..."deposit now, the rest after the cake is eaten"?
The DJ or band?..."pay the drummer and bass player now, the singer and guitarist later"?
Everyone else is getting paid up front. Why aren't you?
You should get ALL your money upfront. The couple will take no issue with this. I guarantee it.
You are providing the most important service of the entire day. And the couple knows it.
