I have slowly read through all six pages of this thread - and have to say there is a huge amount of good information, but what is concerning for me is the number of people who are doing there first weddings, not as a second shooter or anything, but the main Tog.... PLEASE I beg you if you want to get into wedding photography - second shoot or assist a pro on a number of weddings before going it on your own - this is a once in a lifetime event for a bride and groom, and not something that can be redone. If you make a "mistake" - you cannot re-shoot the next day...
For many couples their wedding day is one of the most important of their lives.
Don’t offer to take official photographs of such a momentous occasion unless you are
completely confident of what you are doing – confident of your equipment, the light
conditions, your ability to handle people and be able work fast.
