I'm going to be a second shooter for the first time this summer for some weddings and would love to excel at the job at hand.
What are some different things I should be doing that would really make my work stand out?
I'm driving an hour so I want to make it worth it and have a lot of fun with the people.
The thoughts in the back of my head are:
Stay out of the main photographer's way.
Get the behind the scenes shots that the main photographer can't get.
Do some creative work while the main photographer gets the must have shots.
After the ceremony my plan is to have some fun with the bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girl, ring bearer, etc... Lots of candids, hopefully the parents, and of course the bride and groom when I can.
How about before and during the ceremony? What should my focus be? Similar to the main photographer just in case?
During the ceremony I'm thinking if the main photographer is shooting, say a 70-200, should I duplicate or throw on my 18-50 for a different perspective? Or go up high with the zoom?
Any and all advice is greatly appreciate and will be used if possible!
Thanks

I got some good information here if anyone is interested as well:
