What does a wedding photographer do to get ready?

- More than you may think....

• 6 battery chargers plugged in and fully loaded:

  • 4 camera batteries charging at once
  • 2 sets of AA (for the flash guns)
  • Then swap out and do another set.

• Check focus calibration on all lenses

• Then clean them too (even if they already look clean!).

• Check:

  • Wireless triggers
  • Flash guns
  • Light Stands
  • Reflectors
  • Ensure memory cards are clear to format again, then format them.

• Repeat all of the above for the backup gear.

• Double check dates/times/addresses.

• Run thought the day in your head.

• Names, places, times:

  • Where I need to be and when I need to be there
  • Prep photos
  • The Wedding Ceremony
  • Wedding Breakfast
  • The Speeches
  • Cutting the cake
  • 1st Dance
  • Evening disco
  • etc., etc., etc...

• Shoes, Suit & Shirts cleaned and ready.

• Sleep!
