Shooting a wedding? heres some tips if it's your first time.

Hello, brave souls! Are you gearing up to shoot a wedding for the first time? As someone who’s survived the wedding videography battlefield, I’m here to share my top 10 tips that are as funny as they are true. So, grab your camera, and let's dive into the world of 'I dos' and 'don't you dares.'
1. Dress Like a Ninja, Move Like a Cat

• Blend in, my friends. Wear black or neutral tones. You need to be stealthy, unobtrusive, and able to pounce on those candid moments without knocking over the wedding cake.

2. Be the Human Tripod

• You’ve got to have the stability of a tripod with the flexibility of a gymnast. Balancing on one leg to get the perfect shot is practically a rite of passage.

3. Befriend the DJ

• Your new best friend is the DJ. They’re the timekeepers of this shindig. Stay in their good graces, and you’ll always be in the right place at the right time.

4. Develop a Sixth Sense for Drama

• Like a shark smelling blood in the water, learn to sense drama before it unfolds. Whether it's Aunt Mabel who's had one too many or a flower girl meltdown, be ready to capture the moment.

5. Master the Art of Teleportation

• You need to be everywhere at once, yet seen by none. Develop your teleportation skills, or at least your ability to move quickly and quietly.

6. Be a Battery Overlord

• Keep those batteries charged and plentiful. The only thing worse than a bridezilla is your camera dying during the first kiss.

7. Cry-Proof Your Gear (And Yourself)

• Waterproof everything. Emotional tears, unexpected rain, or a rogue splash of champagne – you need to be ready for all.

8. Memorize the Family Tree

• Know who’s who. You don’t want to mix up Uncle Bob with Uncle Joe. Capturing the family dynamics is key, and so is knowing who should never be in the same frame.

9. Feast on Canapés, But Stealthily

• You need energy, but you also need to be a ghost. Snack like a pro – quick, quiet, and without drawing attention. It’s an art form.

10. Embrace the Chaos

• Weddings are unpredictable. Embrace it! The best moments often come from the chaos. Ride the wave and keep your camera rolling.

Conclusion:
There you have it, folks! Shooting a wedding can be as unpredictable as a rollercoaster, but with these tips, you’ll be more than ready to capture every laugh, tear, and crazy dance move. Remember, it’s about finding the joy in the chaos and immortalizing those once-in-a-lifetime moments. Now go out there and make wedding video magic!
