Ok, so I'm 16 girl and very interested in photography which I why I'm so pleased to be assisting a guy i know next month doing a wedding shoot, as my first job.
I'm going to be helping him out big time and at the same time he is going to teach me a bit of photography. Just one thing, what on earth should I wear? any tips - do you think a suit is best or is something a little more casual ok?
thanks for your time! x
Me and my wife always match in color. Maybe you could match the main photographer. Normally we wear a nice black shirty (with our company name on the pocket) and khaki pants. Normally you should be in darker colors so as to not distract from the ceremony. At beach ceremonies we wear white shirts with khaki since the lighting is much brighter. Just my two cents. You could wear black slacks if you like as well. Matter of preference I presume. Make sure whatever you wear that it is something that you can move in. For men, those who wear jackets might be limited in range of motion which could make a shot a bit harder to get.

With winter on it’s way and wedding season winding down I thought I would post a few images from Katherine Karl’s wedding. The ceremony was held in a beautiful Greek Orthodox Church which was abundant in detail and decoration and a joy to photograph. After the church we stopped off at a few different locations trying to beat the fading light before getting to Crown Casino where the reception was held in the magnificent River room. It was a fantastic day all round and as you can see be

A no-nonsense guide that shows how to make quick, efficient work of getting beautiful, high-quality, cutting-edge, and traditional shots from the pre-ceremony through the reception, this manual offers techniques for capturing the key players and moments of the big day. Unlike other photography books that present a more theoretical or technical approach to photographing a wedding, this resource focuses on the specific steps photographers should take, streamlining their process for effective management at the wedding. A recommended time line shows when to photograph the various portrait the clients expect after the ceremony–the bride and groom, best man and groom, maid of honor and bride, couple and their parents, attendants, extended family, and others. Simple technical tips for supplementing existing light and setting up and orchestrating the many shots accurately and effortlessly are also included.
I'm an amateur wedding photographer, and I've seen some photography where the images are so clear and crisp. How do I achieve something like that?
Is it the camera type? The ISO? Lighting?
I shoot with a Pentax K100 D Super. Please see my portfolio and tell me what you think I need to work on, or how I can achieve more professional photography.

Thank you!
I just check your portfolio… your pictures have terrible quality… You have some nice ideas for wedding photos, pictures are not bad, I would say much better than most of the wedding "photographers" (read money makers) I know… but you MUST start thinking about better equipment… pentax is not a equipment for you.. you need better camera, and better lenses… camera for start: even one of the cheaper canon brand Rebel XTI or XTS but lenses only Top Shelf Lseries… I know its not cheap but wedding photographer making good money so let call this investment 
than you`ll have better quality pictures, and start shoot in RAW and than process them to JPG….
