I've got to disagree with the idea of doing a wedding "solo". I would never work alone. It's essential to have some-sort of assistant, either to record sound, watch the kit or to be able to operate a second camcorder if required. In the same way I would never produce a sub-standard video. If two cameras are required, then two cameras are part of the deal. When you're starting up you've got to get a repuatation and, once you're known as a cheap videographer, you can't get out of that rut.

I know that weddings in continental europe are different to the UK and the church or registry office ceremony isn't considered the main part of the video but, in my experience, if you deliver a (shortened) ceremony with good sound and different camera angles "a la television" the couple (and, more importantly, the parents) go "wow!".

The idea of a video-booth is a good one, I usually do "vox pops" with the guests but the idea of having an unattended camcorder permenantly running is interesting...
