I have a client couple who want me to photograph the consummation of their marriage. I've never done this before, but I'm sure there are a few of you Pros out there that have experience at this. Any tips on angles, lighting, location etc. I'm only going to get one shot at this.
Thanks!!

I offered this when I discussed wedding photography with prospective clients. Never had anyone take me up on the offer, which was made jokingly, anyway.

I'd suggest on strobe with a snoot to highlight the subject area and important parts of the subjects themselves.

I would guess none of us have done this before. There is a small dark store down on the other side of town that may have some references to photographers that do this kind of work. Check with Debbie, if she's back from Dallas.

Ok, let them know that in the middle of the act, there's going to be this photographer on the sidelines with strobes and a noisy clicking shutter. From personal experience, this can put a damper on the action. Also, are both parties exhibitionists? Again, from personal experience, having a Photographer in the room can put a damper on things.

Now, here's an idea. Can you do timelapses on your camera? Set everything up, do a few test shots to adjust exposure, etc for the available lighting and show the couple how to start the process.

As far as position and angle, make sure, and I know this is obvious, that you've got them at an attractive angle. Again, from personal experience, the bottoms of someone's feet is not their best side.
