Weddings aren’t portraits with perfect studio lighting. It’s not just about having the right gear; you need 2 of everything. 2 cards per camera. 2 cameras per photographer. 2 photographers.
You need to learn how to deal with an angry, chaotic, stressed bride that’s been looking forward to this special day all of her life. She wants everything perfect… or else. If you don’t get the right pose/picture that she didn’t tell you she wanted, you’ll ruin everything until her next marriage.
Be prepared for weeks of planning and 10 hours of being at the venue trying to herd cats for posed pictures. Be prepared to have a meal waiting in your car because you’re not a “guest” so they didn’t count you in for catering.
Like what was said. Be a second for a wedding photographer to learn everything about shooting a wedding that isn’t photography.
