So you’ve been asked to take the photos at your friend’s wedding. You’ve tried to persuade them to hire a professional, but they are happy with you. Don’t panic, they asked you because they like your style. Wedding digital photography is no different from other photography, but there are a few things you need to consider when planning for the big day.

A simple start to make the best of the day is to ensure your camera is silent. No electronic beep in the middle of the ceremony will make any picture better. You just need to turn the beeps off on your camera.

Take as many photos as possible. The beauty of digital is that you are only limited to the size of your storage media. This is a once in a lifetime occasion, capture as much of it as you can. And don’t automatically delete pictures you don’t think are good. Review them all after the event. With a little cropping or manipulation you may find a perfect shot that you didn’t know you had.
