I have done one set of wedding photos -FOR MY BROTHER- who also does that sort of thing on the side. He seemed pleased with the results. As a person who has been married and received my own set of photos I agree with Alpha's list which was quite complete. Indoor photos witha digital is horrible. In fact indor photos with a 35mm can be a bit tough as well. You may want to bring additional lights for the posed - group shots. Also you may want to consider taking the posed group, minister, wedding party, ect pictures-BEFORE the wedding. It can avoid the later rush to vacate the premises and hustle and bustle which can occure before the reception. And everyone generally looks their best befor the ceremony anyway. However there may be a problem with the groom seeing the bride before the wedding. If so, no problem, just do everything else before and the bride and groom pictures after the wedding. Are you going to attempt to use a camcorder? If so. You may want to consider candid coment after the wedding or placing the camera at the entrance way to record people as they file in. Because you are the official photographer don't hesitate to stand infront of others inorder to get you picture. And behind or slightly over the minster is the best place to get the "first kiss". Just remember to ask the minister before climbing into the pulpit! Good luck with the bouqut toss. And the crossed hand with ring eposure. Bsteph
