While I'm not a photographer myself, I'm sure I can use these tips whenever have a camera in my hand.

One of the first things i do when i get to a new wedding is to meet who ever is planning the event and get them to give me a brief run down of what to expect.It also pays to be in the flow of things, you need to focus, else you miss the crucial shots Being a wedding photographer based in Nigeria, i get to shoot a lot of Nigerian traditional weddings, the country is extremely rich in culture with a few hundred tribes all with unique cultures.

That often have way to much going on to deal with let alone to many captains trying to drive the ship on that day..... did 1 wedding and one Vietnamese wedding and that cured me from dealing with those clients. Having Brides father force the band or musicians and DJ eat "Domino's" pizza during the Reception in front of everyone else that was eating at the nice restaurant was tacky enough to make any hired help never book one of those weddings again.

A traditional Polish wedding is unique from a garden wedding. If there is a detail in any wedding I just shoot it, later with photoshop it may come in handy for composite photos. Some weddings have stronger culture than others, but in the end, a great wedding photographer never looses focus-- with their attention to details and events. and their camera.

Another Japanese wedding I attended went smooth since it was a) more westernized; b) I was more prepared. Anyhow, have a Cambodian one to see in January, as a guest, but will certainly snap a few photos, that'll be interesting...

Flickr and other photosite are often a pretty good place to research the different wedding. not forgetting infromation sites such as wikipedia, although do rememeber that wedding are not always text book in their routine. Going along with friends( i was fortunate enough to have wife from the culture photographed) to watch a wedding will help you feel comfortable and be able to predict what happens next. You will get some attention from the guests as you will obviously stand out, but most ( including the bride,groom and family) will be flattered that you take an interest in their culture. Oh and try not to get in the way of the official photographer and guest , after all they are there for a reason as well :) my attempt at friends wedding http://www.flickr.com/photos/rahsoft/3626501198/in/set-72157622614249036/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/rahsoft/3646684638/in/set-72157607527868419/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/rahsoft/409707412/in/set-72157607527868419/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/rahsoft/sets/72157607527868419/ I think most of the points are already covered.
