I've shot a lot of weddings. Not in a while, though.

My kit contained the usual pro selection of camera and backup gear. I used a Rolleiflex as my primary camera, with a Leica IIIf as backup A and an Exacta VX1000 as backup B. I carried the usual collection of film, lenses, and photo stuff.

But I also carried these things:

 * kleenex
 * various basic make-up items, including lipstick, foundation, and mascara
 * bobby pins, hair clips, safety pins, and straight pins
 * comb, hair brush, and hand mirror
 * double-sided tape (many uses, including lint removal)
 * silk flowers (if someone got a spot of food or drink on their outfit, common for children, I asked one of the adult women to pin a silk flower over the spot)
 * Tylenol and a small bottle of water
 * a few dark velvet cloths and a few white handkerchiefs. Sometimes there was an object that needed to be covered or concealed.
