Better get a few people taking pictures. Pictures of each bidal party member coming up the isle is nice when you're doing a scrapbook, and a picture of the bride and dad going down the isle, front and back (back so you see the back of the dress. Also get the funny pictures, with lots of faces. Try to get some every half hour - thats why you need help.

Take all the formal pics but then take loads of just people - especially children. When looking back at my wedding album, we all get the biggest kick out of the children. Also, if anything unusual (my son fell asleep on the stair in the front of the church while he was ringbearer for my sis, my brother passed out at another sis' wedding) that kind of stuff makes every wedding exclusive in itself! Mirror reflections are also great - especially if they are candid. But ny all means, enlist friends/family that you know can take good shots!
Good luck, Rebecca

You can make beautiful scrapbooks easily on sites like Snapfish. I often make them for my husband, and all that's involved is clicking, dropping, and typing. Also, I can get extra copies by just ... ordering them. Easy, easy, easy. I honestly cannot understand the whole miniature paper cut-out thing. I also make flip books for each of the kids for stocking stuffers, compiling pics of each of them for the year.

I'm no expert, I'm just starting too...but I think I've read that you should get rid of the construction paper if at all possible. Use some acid-free, lignin-free, archival card stock instead.

You might find out what her interests are, hobbies, culture etc. Is she interested in nature, decorating, traveling? Start listing some of these and you will get more than enough ideas to fill a page. Also look at the Memory scrapbooking magazine. That one has a ton of good ideas.

Get the formal shots, but also get casual shots of the wedding party. Get them standing around talking, laughing, dancing. Get nice shots of the bride and groom dancing. Don't forget the bouquet/garter toss. Get a nice shot of the parents dancing or all sentimental, and with the bride and/or groom. That will be a trasure in the years to come.

Also, try to get a different angle than the usual photographer. Stand a little to the side, go in a little closer.

Be unobtrusive - use a zoom lens if you have one on your camera.

And here's the big thing - get ID's (full names, relationship to wedding couple) for every photo you take, especially if they're from the groom's side. It'll help when you're sorting through the photos later.

Also, bring at least two rolls of film more than you think you'll need (better to have too much than too little), and fresh batteries.
