Wear a clean bowling shirt & you should be fine. Also, don't ask the DJ to play any songs by Garth Brooks.
On a more practical note, if the wedding is going to be held in a church, scout the location in advance & talk to whatever clergy is going to be in charge there. Find out if they have restrictions ... like no flash; you can only photograph from this place or that place; ... From: Walt
Thank you, Stan. One of the reasons I'm so hesitant about this is that it's going to be in a setting of the type I've never, ever been in before. From what I gather, this is going to be a fairly swanky affair replete with bigwigs and such. So, I can't help feeling I'll be the proverbial turd in the punchbowl. The closest thing I've done to this was an awards banquet at the Olympic Club in SF -- back when I crashed on Larry's couch. I'd only been shooting a little over a year at the time, and I've learned a (relatively) huge amount since then. But, still . . . Thanks for the pointer on practicing flash technique. As for what the bride is expecting, as I understand it, she's going to want prints and an album -- likely even a book. I figure I can glean the overall aesthetic she's looking for based on what I see at the wedding itself -- assuming I'm stupid enough to take on the challenge. Thanks for the input. You've given me a good set of questions to ask the bride before making any kind of commitment. I'll have to sit down and come up with a list of others to ask, as well as a litany of reasons why she might consider someone who knows what the hell they're doing. ;)
