Welcome to the world of us wedding photographers. Been living in fear for over 5 years now. Never lost a picture, though.

See you on the circuit.

I currently have 2 16 cards which I bought and I also have 2 8 gig cards that came with the camera. The 16 gig cards hold 70 minutes, the 8 gigs, 25 minutes. The last wedding I shot filled the two 16 gig cards, whereas the wedding before that filled the 16 gig cards and one of the 8 gig cards. Each wedding is different, longer speeches, longer ceremony etc, hard to give an idea as to the duration really, it varies so much. Hi Calvin,

Couldn't you just get an extra couple of memory cards so that you're not under quite so much pressure to wipe the cards for the very next wedding? Then, as Mark suggests, have a defined workflow check-list for each wedding so that when you get the jitters you have proof on file that you've actually carried out each step. The other thing is to make sure you back everything up -- I'd suggest having the work mirrored on at least two HDD and also archived onto DVDs. Just out of interest how much space does an average high res. wedding video occupy as a digital file? What's the next step up from "tera-bytes" when you're talking about storage capacity? Have fun with it.... Cheers, Calvin! Hi John,

The thing is to remain focused and have a pilot's check list. My solution is to have enough cards on hand to do the whole job, copy and archive at the end of the shoot. It's a brave new world, but for the picture you get, it's worth a little 'fear'. I face the same concern when I start shooting weddings with the EX1 as well.
