Anyone care to throw some thoughts to me incase I have forgotten something?

Thanks a bunch

Make sure that you take that backup equipment with you, you know that Barbie P&S digicam. :D

I dont have a back up camera ;p


Rent one. Seriously. My camera failed me during a 50th wedding anniversary. I was able to salvage enough of the pictures to still satisfy my customy, but *I* was not satisfied. I won't EVER do any kind of event that I'm being paid for without bringing a back up camera. Right now, I can rent one from my local camera shop for $60, but I'm seriously thinking about trying to get a used 10D off eBay.

I got soft Rockport shoes. They feel very soft, almost like sneakers. While they do not look exactly like dress shoes they go with suit very nicely. After 8hr wedding, my feet feel great.

Point is.. find COMFORTABLE shoes that look good. You'll be happy at the end of the day.

Ok to stop confusion...

I HAVE a back up camera :)

A cooler of drinks, on ice.
food - candy bar or power bar or something.

hopefully you scheduled tome to sit, rest, eat and such during the day - you can't be at your best for 12 hours without food, drink and rest.

I have a long one in November, but most are 7 hours give or take and I am quite thankful for the dinner hour to sit and have a coffee!

I DO hope you mean the soft drink! :)

Lisa, makeup remover wipes? Seems somebody always has mascara smudges somewhere.

No. Im talking about blasting rails of nose candy duh. A little booger sugar to get you over the hump and a few shots of jack to cut the edge.

JOKES!!

I carry some things in my camera bag aside from camera stuff:

Super Glue, Rubber Bands & Safety Pins - never know what/when.

A few nylon Zip-ties - for the what ifs - even fix a broken camera strap if needed.

Spare glasses - better to have and not need, than need and not have.

Couple of Band-Aids & Ibuprofen - self-explanatory.

Note Pad, Pen & Business Cards - self-explanatory.

and gaffer tape in black and white. Maybe even some of the matte finish scotch tape.

I always throw a little sewing kit in my bag w/ some makeup removing wipes (someone already suggested) Comes in handy for your heavy criers.

Dang you might as well get a tool box for all that..lol!!

Hey, come to think of it, that's not a bad idea ;-)

Have a signed contract saying that there are no uncle bobs with SLR's in the way.

OK, wedding is tomorrow and my calculations were a bit off. I will be leaving here at 9am and getting home at around 11pm. BIG day.

I have everything just about ready. Last batteries are charging, food is made and lots of water. To top it off I have had a sinus infection for the last 4 days and needless to say I feel like crap. So, I will also be armed with a never ending supply of tissues, nasal spray, and some pills to help clear me up, oh and lots of cold coke. :)

If today was anything to go by I will need sunscreen tomorrow (27c today and its still winter)

Wish me luck, will show some pics when done if anyone is interested.

Thanks for your suggestions

I'd like to see pictures :)

I would also love to see some photos, and best of luck for a good day all round, and hope you are feeling better.

Easy...part way into the reception tell the groom "Are you enjoying married life so far?" (he'll say yes) then you respond "Yeah, the first day is like one big party ins't it?, It's the next 20 years that's like the hangover! " and he'll laugh at that.
Works at every wedding.
