Five days...

[Vertigo]

So, five days until my first solo wedding shoot. Erm, eeeeek!

Done several as second shooter but never before on my own. It's for extended family and a relatively small affair in terms of numbers but still bloody nervous

Read all the advice given on here before but if anyone has any more pearls of wisdom, I'm all ears! Wish me luck.

Yeah I'd already seen the big thread mentioned earlier.

I'm also very aware of the "other photographers" phenomenon. Even second shooting myself, I often actually shout at the assembled subjects to look at the main photographer and ignore me - I'll be doing the same this time with guests taking their own snaps.

Blinking is a nightmare - I usually end up firing off three or four shots of every group shot I do to increase my chances of no-one blinking in one of them!

Ta for all the advice, particularly Ray, all good stuff to remember (will make a little list in Evernote to keep on my phone I think!).

I think I've got the bases covered with kit - two bodies plus 10-22, 24-70, 70-200, 100L & 50 1.4 May borrow a friend's 24 1.4 just on the offchance it comes in handy.
