Assistance from tips that are great:

1. Backup and Camera. Check your camera to make sure it is working! Make sure you have a second camera available if you need one.

2. Portable power source. Are the batteries fully charged? Have you got at least 2 sets of spare batteries (or more)? You may never need them, but if they run out, you are going to miss some special moments that will never be repeated!

3. Film rolls/memory cards. You will save hundreds by not using a pro, so get a lot, as it's very low cost. Just like the batteries, you wouldn't want to take out the camera at the first dance and discover. - 30299
