Opps, I forgot to add most probably I would be using a D70 with the kit lens and SB800. Its not the technical aspects that I worry abt but rather what should be taken because I dunno the flow. Its not a wedding shoot but just an ROM so maybe it's not such a critical event.
Can I join in the fun????
Anyway, the flow goes like this.
The couple will reach ROM. Then someone outside will ask for their names and people accompanying them. Please be noted that once you reach the second floor holding area, it is as squeezy as you can get. You may want to take the couple walking up the stairs.
Normally, the families and friends of both sides will want to pose near the "antique" chairs outside the rooms and the other places while waiting for your name to be called.
The couple will register at the second floor registry for their presence and the presence of the witnesses. Then wait wait wait.
Finally, their name will be called and they will go to the rooms indicated. In this instance, you might want to take a shot at the rooms they are directed to, for record purposes.
Once inside, the witness will sit on the left side of the wedding officer while the couple will stand infront of the wedding officers.... in this time, you might want to take shots of the wedding officer, witnesses and the couple to be. Then the wedding officer will say the standard things .... then finally, he / she will ask the witness to sign the forms and pronoun the couple man and wife. In this instance, you will have to be fast, as they will put on rings for each other and the groom will kiss the bride. Try to talk to the groom in advance to have a slightly longer kiss. The few ROM I been to ... well ... the groom and bride like ultra shot kisses.
Anyway, after that, the groom and bride will want to pose with wedding officer (don't know why, but it seems quite standard everyone want to pose with the wedding offcer). Then all is ended .... proceed to Fort Canning park for more photos.
1st standard shot will be the chair with the "Just Married" sign on top, then go fore to Fort canning park .... it's up to the photographer's imagination now
Hope I get the flow correctly .....
.... Signing off ;P
