As Christoper said you can't bring too much film. Try to use film that's the same speed - colour and black and white - so you can't screw up reloading and forgetting to change the speed. Keep snapping, don't worry if things don't look quite right in the viewfinder, take the shot - you may capture spontaneity if nothing else. Find out what sort of wedding shots the couple want - in the only wedding I've done I stated that it would be informal or nothing - they were happy with that, I think I was lucky ;-) Try to forget that even if everything goes smoothly - and the parents aren't the dragons Ted describes - you are only going to get one shot at it. No second takes a week or two later. Good luck!

Don't get stressed. Bring at least 2 backups. Bring enough film for 2 weddings. Make sure the batteries are in the flash. Make sure the film is in the camera. Make sure to never shoot a friend's wedding. :) Chris Williams New Orleans - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
