As Simon explains:
It's a much more informal approach which creates images similar to those editorial features you see in magazines, it can lead to great results, spontaneous moments and thoughtful reflections all adding to the complete story of your day.
For me, shooting this kind of work is fun. I need to sneak shots and only be seen after taking pictures as they unfold around me. Shots should convey the story of the special day and cover a spectrum of emotions.
I normally use long lenses taking pictures candidly, mingling in with the other guests so I cant be seen, sniper shots can be gems and give an almost filmatic look and so it should when its one of the biggest events in someone's life you want to look like a superstar. Along with this celebrity status you don't necessary want to be told all day what to do by a photographer. I use this documentary style of photography often as it lends itself to showing expressions naturally.
Some of the best times to use this style are as the bride or groom get ready with friends and family, guests as they start to arrive is another good one, anything from unpacking the kids from cars to fixing button holes or wiping a baby's nose they all make great photo opportunities.
