This is hard. My first paying wedding was actually a blast. Amazingly nothing went wrong and I had the second biggest album sale of my career (although with my prices raising over the years it wasn't the wedding I made the most at, by far).
But here goes - I wish I had known something as simple as changing my flash batteries to fresh ones throughout the reception. I was waiting forever for the flash to recycle and didn't realize what the problem was. (I know, I am dumb)
I also wouldn't have taken as many overall dancing shots, I was just so enamored with the high balcony and all the partying that I took like fifty pictures that all looked the same of the tops of everyone's dancing heads...
I still have shots from my first wedding on my website

I sometimes wonder if the better I get the less amazingly lucky shots I get...
There is something from each job that I wish I had done differently or wish I had known, but that's life.
