consider taking a backup.

You should always be aware of the background in a given shot.
If you’re limited when it comes to the ability to blur an unpleasant background, you will have to ensure that you restrict your photography to areas wherein the background I esthetically pleasing.
Some of today’s cameras will auto-focus, allowing you the ability to bring your subject to the foreground with little effort.
Whenever possible, you should ask the guests to remove their eyeglasses in order to avoid glare.
If this request is impossible (as in shots of large crowds or during the ceremony itself),
do your best to capture the photo from an angle that reduces or eliminates glare and reflection.
Another lighting issue to consider is ‘silhouetting’.
Don’t shoot subjects when the light source is behind them; if you do, you will end up with shadowed images, thus the term ‘silhouetting’.
You should also consider taking a large number of candid shots.
Candids prove to be visually interesting and appealing and can also provide a glimpse of intimate moments that standard poses miss.
Candid shots are natural and don’t feel forced.
Thereby creating an automatically successful shot.
Make sure your camera has a fully charged battery and consider taking a backup.
The last thing a photographer wants is to run out of battery power in the middle of an event.
You should also bring along an extra memory card and consider setting your camera a higher resolution.
A high-resolution setting will create photos with more vivid colors and more noticeable detail.
You may be accustomed to your old reliable film canister,
but if you can muster the strength to go out on a limb and try a digital camera,
you will find that your ratio of good versus bad shots is much higher.
You will also notice a reduction in the instances of red-eye and “ghost face”.
“Ghost face” is caused by using a flash too closely to the subject.
Digital photography will afford the amateur photographer more opportunities to develop quality photographs and put together elegant wedding projects.
