Utilize movement such as arc shots, push-in/push-out, tracking, etc

Confirm you have the accurate location. If using GPS, type in the name of the venue with the city and verify it's the right place, avoiding the possibility of incorrect directions or destination.
Call the on-site contact(s) upon first arrival, stating that you're the videographer from Pluvia Studios. Make sure you are guided to the first shooting location on time to set up and start filming.
Ensure continuous video recording of entire sub-events with no gaps. (ex. Ceremony, First Dances, Speeches, etc)

Do not block each other's camera view.
Ensure you're not standing in or significantly blocking multicamera video set-up.

Don't shoot too bright (especially outdoors)
Clean surfaces of objects before shooting (ex. dust, smudges, dirt)
