If you have time, find another wedding photog, volunteer to be a second shooter. Take notes and ask questions. Make special notes of all the key things you must capture. Don't forget the little things, table settings, invitations and flowers and the like. Think photo journalistic. You have to tell the entire story of the entire day!

I have done weddings, and avoid them for many reasons. They are a pain and you can become the bad guy real fast. One bad shot and you screwed up bad. Take multiple of shots of everything. A closed eye, someone looks away. Multiple shots and you can merge to save the day. Backup body is mandatory. Be prepared, it is a very emotional day, and not in a good way when you will be looked upon to basically coordinate the entire day. Bring lots of memory cards and swap regularly. Be prepared and have the tools to do a ton of editing. From my perspective Lightroom is mandatory.

Also, be prepared cause Murphy will be with you.

Can you tell I despise shooting weddings? lol
