Wow, very nice. I have been doing weddings part time for over two years and have yet to have the nightmare problems that some talk about. This tutorial has given me several things to think about, that I never thought about before. It will definitely hold off those problems for a little bit longer.
Very gracious of all the Big Dogs to take the time.
I thank everyone for the time and effort.

Great tutorial Leroy - THANK YOU!!!!
I just landed my first wedding this week. It's next Saturday at 4:30pm. I'm just a little terrified! HA! I hadn't planned to start that just yet, but they had heard of me through the grapevine and love my work, so... (Of course, the fact that it was so last minute may have had something to do with it too...)
Your tutorial provided answers to a lot of questions I had and gave me a lot of food for thought. I've asked an artist friend to be my assistant and I actually know the groom, so hopefully that will help. Plus, it's not the first wedding for the bride or groom, so I'm hoping that it will take some of the pressure off. They know that it will be my first wedding and didn't balk at the price I threw out at them.
Thanks again and if there's anyone else out there who would like to give me advice, suggestions, or a list of DO NOTS, please feel free to PM me. I would appreciate any information at this point!
:-)

Thanks to all that composed this very nice tutorial! I am photographing my first wedding in June and this has answered many questions. It also made me think twice whether I want to do this solely as my profession.
I found just one little thing that you might want to check:
"Tell the bride to tease her friends by faking the garter toss before she throws it for real. The helps you to get a shot of her, a shot of her friends' reactions, and not miss the actual toss."
--I'm sure you meant bouquet.
Thanks again for much needed answers! |

Congrats to both of you on getting those first weddings. The best piece of advice I can give is to show up at the rehearsal and shoot it as if you were shooting the wedding. This way you can analyze your shots and figure out any problems you may be having.

I read it as well. Nice effort.
Like many it seems these days, I am shooting my first wedding as well in two weeks. But I am going big baby. Ceremony guests are numbering in the thousands, so I will bring every business card I own! Haha. They are a very popular couple...
Will post examples, lessons and hopefully success stories after it all. But most of all its gonna be fun...and as you said, more importantly is a good stepping stone to more business in the future. There is no doubt about it though, I am going to almost certainly attend the rehearsal to get the hang of the lighting.

I'm glad I ran across this just now. I'm meeting the bride-to-be of my first wedding shoot tomorrow. Most of the things in the tutorial were things I'd already put in my notes to go over with her, based on what the photographers did at my own wedding and the many other weddings I've been to as a guest. But it was nice to see my own thoughts reinforced here.

I've been reading a book titled: Mastering Digital Wedding Photography by James Karney (ISBN-10: 1598633295 ISBN-13: 978-1598633290). Awesome book. I highly recommend it for anyone into or getting into wedding photography. It's put a few new ideas in my head.

Some critiques, since the tutorial caught my eye:
"to elude" and "to allude (to)" are quite different, and it might be worth fixing that in the second paragraph of 'be prepared'. (also the transposition someone else mentioned at the end of that section)
re long zooms, 'But, for some they do serve their purpose.' -- realizing you're not a fan, ending like this begs for counter-points (perhaps in the forum....)
With all of that said, it has a lot of good things to keep in mind, and I especially like the "What to Shoot?" section.
