[QUOTE="aroy, post: 304494, member: 16090"] I would suggest that you also take casual pre wedding shots of the couple, and any informal party they may throw. That way you will get an idea of how the shots are coming out. If it is an out door weddings and there are a few people attending it, then with good light the kit 18-55 would be invaluable. Primes and shallow DOF are fine, but if you have not done a lot of shallow DOF portraits, then avoid them, use f8 to get every thing in focus. That matters more than getting the groom or bide out of focus. If you are really interested there are a few post processing software where you can get the shallow DOF effect. Finally as every one has suggested . Charge all your batteries. Carry spares if you have, else buy at least one to use in emergency. . Format and check your data cards. I have no idea how many shots you will be taking, but budget for at least a few hundred. That way you will be able to capture a lot of expressions. In such cases (especially with digital) it is better to take excessive images, than wait for just the right moment and miss it. I would also suggest that you keep your cell phone battery charged. In case the camera packs up, you have a back up. Do not worry about IQ of the phone. With my Nokia 5MP camera I have taken a hundred shots of my friend's daughter's wedding. Most of them in day light. When I presented them the prints the next day they could not believe that phone could produce such images. Here are a few images from the phone. No PP just as they came out of the camera.
