Since this got bumped, I also advise one more thing...

Try to shoot an all out door wedding for your first one. You won't have to deal with indoor lighting and I personally think getting a good, beautiful shot in the sun is so much easier.

Before you shoot a wedding indoors, try and do some parties of friends indoors if you can. The ballgame changes dramatically when dealing with motion indoors and getting shots that can be blown past 8x10's without losing too much on quality. I find indoor shooting the hardest thing to do.

Last, try to find the best angles and map out your route to a schedule if indoors... you might find that you want to be on the other side of the isle in the middle of a wedding with no way to get there because of the isle procession, missing shots of the bride's maids... that would be bad. So, try and get all the details and think about your own actions... who is coming in when and where do you need to be.

Also another great source for this kind of info - subscribe to www.kelbytraining.com - it's about $20 per month, but you can just pay one month with gives you access to *all* the training videos on their site, and then cancel your subscription.

I'm currently soaking these up like a sponge, but for wedding type situations, watch the David Ziser courses - excellent stuff.

Basically, for the amount of info you can get for a tenner, not just for photography, but other things like Photoshop as well - it's a no-brainer.

You can also sign up for free and watch the first three parts of every tutorial as well, so you can see what you'd be paying for if you subscribe. Recommended - not affiliated with them at all, I've just done it myself and I've been pretty impressed with the content...
