So,i have 2 wedding's to shoot...help !

Well,ill be there as requested by my friends who are getting married 2 weeks apart in june,they will have photographers there as a paid service so all the emphases isn't with me,but they have asked if i could take some shots also.

My kit is as follows.
sony a33
sony 18-70
sony 55-200
sony 18-55
minolta 50mm
sony flash gun.
tripod/monopod.

Now,while they have photographers which no doubtfully take some good shots i would like to take some as well,as these are my first wedding's ill be taking quite a few shots at both the wedding and party's.

Is there anything else i need lens wise ?
what lens should i take ?
monopod/tripod ?

Any other tips would be great,i have studied a lot of photos from 3 people who do weddings and kinds know what shots to take to capture the moment.

Im not going to worry about taking all the photo's as that's the paid photographers job,ill just be getting experience and that's all,all the photo's (good or bad) will be given to my friends at the end of the day.

Yes,i wanted to grab shots that most people wouldn't,some unusual ones and more mondaine ones,with my knowledge of looking at photo's from raymond i know what to look for to grab there attention.

I can take all my kit as my bag can take everything but im sure i will only need 2 to 3 lens.

i agree, dont follow the official photogs around trying to get the same shots, go off and try to get stuff different to what they will be getting

That was my idea of doing the day,some professional photographers would get the hump if i followed them around all day asking questions....i know i would

I will be doing my own thing and stay in the back ground snapping away.

I was actually thinking of taking the 50mm,18-70,55-200 (my fav lens)
