Hi guys,
I need some guidance in an area that I'm not too familiar with.
Hope the many experienced ppl here can assist wherever they can.
All your help is greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance!
I'm a malay guy & I'm just a hobbyist/enthusiast in this photography world. When it comes to weddings, I've only taken malay wedding only(bout 4-6 only) and never was I the main guy. Just someone kepo-ing in the background & trying to get a feel of wedding photography.
My colleague had asked me to be the photographer for his church wedding. I'll also have another friend helping me out.
Here is where I need help:
- I've never been to a church wedding before so I don't quite know what are the sequence of events during the whole ceremony. Can someone care to give me a quick run down of what usually happens in the church?
- Is there any do's & don'ts that I have to be aware of when in the church?
- What are the shots that is considered a MUST take? Miss these shots & I will be the most hated person in their family... :sweat:
- Any more advice is appreciated
The plan for that day will be, go to groom house -> pick up bride @ hotel-> go to church -> maybe there's reception -> may go of 1hr or so of outdoor shoot -> back to groom house
I will be going down to the church with him one of these days to take a look around & familiarize myself with the location.
If you guys must know, I did advice my colleague to hire an actual wedding photographer. But he's a bit tight on budget and also he would like to give me an opportunity to shoot a church wedding.
My friend & I won't be asking for any payment. Even if he do give some sort of token of appreciation, it'll all go into prints and such stuffs.
I certainly don't want to disappoint my colleague on his big day by being unprepared. I've looked thru a few wedding sites just to have a feel of the events, process & all.
I'll appreciate very much any words of advice & notes that can be useful to me. Do ask should you need any clarification. :lovegrin:
If there is already similar thread, do inform & I'll just read up from there.
If this is the wrong place to post, can any kind administrator put this thread where it belongs. Any inconvenienced caused is greatly regretted. :embrass:
Thanx & Regs,
Khai
