Oh well done!!!!!
Can't wait to get frocking
I think the key to this ,is to find people who are as up for it as you
It is going to be a laugh
I am a bit concerned as I have never really done a portrait, but it is a friend so if it is a disaster , it won't matter
So the next few weeks I am going to be raidng the local libray for portrait books, and you tube and the internet ......Thank you, You Tube
Keep on Frocking !!!!!!!

You Tube is an amazing resource.
Can't write my expression for the trashing of the dress.

nothing apart from the obvious.
but others will say you need this and that and that and this.
if you can take a good photo you can take it.
composition is most important in wedding pics and good natural light.

MS - if your shooting outside you shouldnt need much, maybe a reflector and flash to fill in any shadows. Time of day is important. Avoid mid-day and aim for early morning or late evening - the light is less harsh = less harsh shadows, and has a gorgeous golden glow to it 
Use your imagination and take your time. If you are unsure about exposures, take a look at bracketing your shots, as this will give you a choice of 3+ exposures to choose from. Have fun, and if you start to feel nervous, take a step back, compose yourself and shoot
Have fun xx

Thanks KK
We are going to try it out at Beeston Castle, well, that is the plan
I am a mixture of nerves and excitement just thinking about it.
That's great if I don't have to really buy anything else, as I am saving up for a set of lights at the moment
I was intending on getting a flash anyway.Great advice about the light too, and bracketing my shots.
Going to buy a couple more CF cards too.
Thank you. xx
