- If you know how to read your histogram, use it instead of just the lcd image
- Watch the legs on poses. Keep them tight to bodies.
- Sort people into size groups. Do not be timid to move people around. If they want good shots, they have to be patient.
- About half way through, make sure you are doing good with your memory cards and batteries.
- Take a review of your images. You may find some that are just not worth it.If you delete some it gives you more for some fun stuff at the party.
- Poses include many of bride and groom.
