Thrust into being the main wedding photographer.

6,607 1,026 February 13, 2016 at 05:56 AM in Tech & Electronics (2)
Well, I was supposed to be an unpaid second shooter at a wedding today for experience, however the groom just called, informing me that the main photographer, a friend of the family who is a professional photographer, has not dhpwn up for the rehearsal and they can't get in touch with him.

Since I'm all that's left, it looks like I'm the main photographer.

Any tips, suggestions, snide remarks?

I'm quite nervous, I had not planned on this. I had a good idea in my head of what I wanted to capure as a second photographer, not the main, which is a position that holds much more responsibility.

Yikes!

It's all good. At the end do what you truly enjoy for yourself.

Sucks to be the bride and groom. Who cares...just leave the camera settings on auto (green box) and shoot away. You'll get some nice pics for them. AT this point you're doing them a favor.
