Use more than one camera when photographing a wedding to be prepared for any shot. It's nice to have two different settings, for example one wide angle lens and one long lens so you can get photos of varying aspects of the same shot. It also allows you continue taking photos even if one of your cameras dies.
If you've been asked to photograph a wedding but are new to the job, your most important task it to create a shot list. Ask the couple what kind of photographs they would like you to take and then make a checklist to guide you through the wedding and ease your stress level.
If you have guests who are traveling to a destination wedding, make sure that you give them gift baskets at the hotel they are staying at. This will help to show the appreciation that you have for them for changing their plans and traveling to be a part of your festivities.
The ceremony is an integral part of your wedding as this should reflect both your personality and the character of the person you are marrying. This will help you to individualize your wedding so that it is memorable and fun on your big day. Personalize your wedding for the ultimate effect.
Keep your outdoor wedding decorations simple, at all costs. You will want to be the central of your wedding and too many decorations can take away from this. Keep your decorations very neat and ornate, but make sure not to go overboard, in order to allow your guests to maximize their experience.
Make sure that your whole arsenal of wedding attire is as comfortable as possible as you are going to have to spend many hours wearing this material. Additionally, you should wear shoes that fit perfectly since you are probably going to be on the dance floor often. Maximize your comfort to have a memorable night.
