Ok so here is what I've done, have will do, etc. Please feel free to critique/comment.

I am main shooter for a friends wedding.. charging her $550 to shoot from 2-10, w second shooter.
Equipment...
I will have two 7d cameras,
One will have 70-200 2.8 mki, and other one will have 24-70L
I'll also have a 50 1.4 and tokina 11-16
Second shooter will have gripped 450d, sigma 28-80, 50 1.8, and a 200 2.8L. I am paying him $100 to help
We will have 3 430exii, and two sunpacs...along w triggers, receivers, stands and umbrellas.


I've met w couple plenty and scope out venue once. We will also get there 4 hours prior to ceremony. I have printed shot lists for all sections of the day. I am also setting up a camera on tripod and strokes in area for a 'photobooth' that ill have my assistant run for an hour or so after dinner to help capture fun shots of guests and b&g, etc.

I had us sign contract and they understand my experience.

Anything I'm missing?

Memory cards? On site file backup? Food? Water? What are you wearing? What is your assistant wearing? Batteries?

If you will be shooting in the sun, maybe a gobo.

Thats all I got. Get some sleep, and good luck!
