So, I've been working with this bride-to-be for 2 months now.
We just finished all of the details last week, and tomorrow is the wedding!

I will be using:
5D Mk II
40D
70-200 2.8 IS
17-40 4.0 (The wedding is mid-day, so a fast aperture isn't required)
50 1.4
85 1.8
430EX

This is my 3rd wedding on my own, (7th wedding if you include ones that I have been a 2nd shooter) but it's the 1st really BIG, and full length wedding.

I'd just love some last minute reminders!
I have the schedule printed out, have all the detail shots written down to remind me, etc. So I AM prepared. Just again, I'd love some last minute tips, advice, and encouragement :D

Charge all the batteries, format all your cards are two things I always forget to do.

Don't panic if things don't go exactly to that schedule. Stay relaxed and remind yourself that you can do this.

Capture the emotion, sometimes you need to put people in the right frame of mind to show it. Take photos from on the ground and from up high, full length to half face to landscapes with people in them.

The wedding went perfectly according to schedule\plan! I was surprised!

I am a bit disappointed in the photos of the groom and the groomsmen, mainly because we had to take them at 11:30am-12:05pm (not much time, and the lighting was crap). But, I'm pretty confident that I made up for those shots, in the others.

I just finished loading them onto my computer, and into Lightroom. I'll try to edit and upload a few :)
