| Wedding
is a one-time event, the photographer must be alert and prepared
for the unexpected. Shooting a wedding is both exhausting
and invigorating as the photographer is constantly looking
for good angles and opportunities for candid shots.
Communication and planning time
lines before the event will alleviate many of the stresses
associated with photographing a wedding. An ability to tactfully
take charge also helps - particularly when photographing large
groups or families - a common expectation after the ceremony.
It is not unheard of for a photographer
to work with an assistant who may carry their equipment, help
round up guests and assist in the shooting through clothing
adjustments or the holding up of reflectors. Assisting offers
great experience for the would be wedding photographer, and
assistants should aim to work with as many photographers as
possible.
