    Iggy gives some great tips there.

    The main thing I'll add is that if you've never done this before, shooting in the shade will be easier than the sun. Normally you do not want overly dramatic light. Keep the sun out of their eyes or they will all be squinting. Take a variety of angles from close up to medium to long shots.

    Good luck!

    Plan for the unexpected. I was hired by a friend to do a small wedding ceremony that was going to take place in an outside gazebo by a waterfall and then inside the restaurant for the reception. I went out a couple of weeks earlier to scope the location out and plan my shots. I found that the surrounding area was loaded with photo ops. So much for the planning as it rained hard all day and the ceremony ended up taking place in the restaurant in a 3 sided glass atrium. I fought the lighting all night as it was a dark romantic room and night outside with no natural light and my flash was bouncing all over the place. The only thing I could do is bounce the flash off a stone wall that made up the fourth wall of the room to my right. I ended up asking the restaurant staff if they had a private room where I could take some family pictures with the bride and groom. They ushered me to a down stairs room with a fireplace and a covered patio. I lucked out an was able to provide some nice images of their wedding day.
