They didn’t let me wear a thong. That’s something to be thankful for.

But pick up the July 2007 issue and get ready for a pleasant surprise.

It’s easy to read - more pictures than words. :)

Here are the do’s and don’ts I was asked to write:

Do plan ahead. - you have to scope out the venues where you’re shooting. So you know where the outlets are and if the ol’ church ladies are going to be a problem. Check out the ceremony and reception programs in advance too.

Do look presentable. - it is a wedding after all. So you gotta look spiffy. Jeans, shirts and sneakers are definitely out.

Do stay until the end. - its when the party gets started that you get to film the guests at their most candid.

Do treat the event with all seriousness and professionalism. - because you’re only as good as your last wedding. It’s your clients wedding day. No chance to mess up.

Don’t be late. - the last thing you want is to stress the bride. Late suppliers are a bride’s worst nightmare.

Don’t interfere too much. - the essence of the wedding day will be lost if you harass people too much to look here and there, do this and that.

Don’t raid the buffet before the guests do. - you’re there to work not stuff yourself silly with the teriyaki.

Don’t hit on the bridesmaids. - it’s in bad form. Ask for the number and call after if you really must.
