ok.. I've shot a lot of weddings, but here's my notes... and of course,stay out of the way of anyone they hired, even if he/she's not friendly or apparently great... professional courtesy is good....
for inside, reception... use bounce flash! use or rent a TTL flash with a bouncable head, shoot at 800 ISO.
... if there are walls within 15 feet and/or cielings within 15 feet, aim your flash at them, bring extra NIMH batteries. even bounce behind you can work great. Do some testing if you can first. Results can look totallly non-flash if you get used to it.
for the ceremony, sit close and use a 50mm F1.8 lens, be prepared to crop.
If outside, try for shade if it's the middle of the day, use cloudy white balance even if it's sunny if you're in the shade. Try to have the WHOLE frame shot in the shade, without a sunny streak on the side,etc...
