You better be at the right place at the right time when something important goes down. What also complicates it is the timeline. You need to be able to keep up with the schedule because others may not. Ask them for a shot list for family formals (they might want to have photos with other friends and family) and ask them to have their attendants, or someone, gather them for you. So they will be ready when you need to take that photo.Also think about your needs: food, hydration and bathroom breaks. By know you probably know this but allow me to remind you to know the limits of your equipment. Don't overwhelm yourself with the technical stuff on the wedding day. For me it is better to get the exposure off a bit than miss a moment (which happens). One thing that I almost forgot when I shot my first wedding alone was guests will stand during the bride walks in. If you don't account for that, you might get stuck in a place without any view of the bride.In short: visualize and keep your head up at all times! Remember: "Luck favors the prepared mind". Good luck and have fun! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
