Great wedding pictures begin with preparation. Before arriving at the wedding, have an idea of which shots you would like to get. Obvious ones are the first kiss, first dance, and the cake cutting, but there are several other parts of the day that should be photographed. Try to plan for a mixture of both portrait (planned and posed) pictures and photojournalistic (not posed) pictures. While the formal pictures look great in a frame, the more spontaneous shots usually do a better job of capturing the feel of the wedding.
Before taking a photograph, take a moment to check for straightened ties, flowers held at the wrong angle, and other small details that can ruin a shot. Have everyone facing away from the sun or bright lights to prevent squinting, but not in a way that their faces are shadowed. Also consider what is in the background of the shot. Weddings are very busy events, but unless you are going for a shot highlighting the hecticness of the day, try to find a quieter area to take pictures.
Experiment with the pictures. This is especially effective if you are using a digital camera. Take some pictures in sepia, to give pictures an older look. Black and white pictures are an easy way to make even simple shots look professional. Play around with different angles and perspectives. Take pictures down low, up high, with a wide angle lens, and in other ways that may not be immediately obvious.
