Well, what a day.
On the technical side I seemed to cope fine on m y own with 2 cameras. I had a radio mic on the groom which, while a little low, picked up the vicar and other important bits.

I also passed the mic round during the speeches which also seemed to work well.

It was only a small do. 14 people and it wasn't a real wedding, only a blessing. However they were not already married and the bride thought it was a real wedding.

The day itself went really well. I locked off one camera behind where the vicar would stand and hooked the radio receiver to that camera. I then took the second camera to get the bride walking in. With the stationary camera I got some great shots of the groom arriving and looking worried.

The bride was delayed because the vicar left his bible in a cab and then lost his order of service, then the best man sprained his ankle and had a shot in the butt, they insisted I film all this.

The only problem I had was with the battery of the stationary camera, it was a borrowed camera and the battery lasted just long enough for the service.

Overall it was a very positive experience. and I dint think it could have gone much better for a first time. I will let you know how the editing goes.
