Default Reluctant Wedding Photographer


Remember to do close ups of small things: wedding cake including couple
on top, knife and server for cake, place cards, kids faces. Also, take
the obligatory shots of each table showing all the guests' faces. Back
up the memory cards as soon as the shooting is over; you don't want a
computer or printer to delete any photos.
Good luck.

Good points about the "small things."

The rings:

The outside of the church.

Get a shot of the bride and groom looking at their rings. Preferably in
available light next to a window or stain glass window:

Get a partner, specifically the opposite sex so they can go into their
respective sex dressing room. Pictures of the best man helping the
groom get dressed. Straightening the tie....

And yes, I second the flash bracket and sync cord.

Good luck.
