Every photographer has one liners they use to break the ice a little bit with grooms, brides, brides and grooms, and
family. I don't mean cheeseball but classy ones. Share yours!

"I want everyone to think about how pretty I am." (I am not pretty.)

I picked this one up from the professional that I second-shot for before I started out on my own, and it may be a little cheesy, but it always get a smile and a laugh. "I want everyone to look happy like you just got married or something". I use it during the formals on the altar after the ceremony.

"Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!" and "Give me some love!"........but, your smile and your demeanor is what carries the message.
Sometimes: "Workin' the cam-er-ah!" done im my best Rob Schneider SNL "making copies" voice :-)

"Okay everybody! Pretend that you like each other" always brings a smile when photographing a group of
people.

"So, is this REALLY going to be a white wedding?"
Michael Church - Knoxville TN , Aug 23, 2008; 10:55 a.m.
Just kidding Mark. I really don't have any one liners. Matter of fact, besides introducing ourselves initially, we hardly interact at all.

"now you all know this is my first wedding, don't you?"

Similar to your's, Jo, but as I'm fluffing a dress I'll look up and say, 'Gimmie a break, I've never done this before!"

Another one I do on occasion (not for everybody), is, once I set up the B & G in a pose I'll step back,
put my hands on my hips and with the best french acccent I can muster I'll say, "Another creation
by Mr. Michael!"
Gets laughs, but who knows what they say later behind my back..:)
