Check out the parking access to enable a fast getaway from house to church to reception.
Have a list for the day, so you do not forget a single thing. Way easier to edit down your master tapes than to lengthen them. A little bit of the location, but go back and shoot more folks.
Check whitebalance, exposure, focus settings are all as you require, and are OK with. 8.Check with the bride if she is asked you to do that film. I had one bride who maintained that I never let the camera stop even for a 2nd. Wear subtle clothing, take a brave tablet and move among the guests, filming and smiling graciously. Decline alcohol ( hard one this ) as drinking time is lost filming time. You can not do two things well, so focus on getting the pictures. Do not be tempted to shoot stills ; it needs to have a different mind set. 10.Edit cold heartedly, you hear me? Keep the first experts for sure, but if possible get the ecstatic couple to see your edited masterwork before they see the long version.
Remember your video camera is a sound recorder that just happens to record photographs at the same time. If you stop recording mid sentence the conversation will be rubbish wheras the pictures could be fine.
