Does any one have any tips? Or better yet examples?

Okay, so I've been hired by distant families distant family to be the photographer for their wedding. Now this is all well and good because a job is a job and I need money. But, I'm only 17, I'm still in High School. So I've never had official training. Not to say I'm not good. But I'm still learning. And I've never really done group shots. But the couple was shown my portfolio and wanted me to do it so I guess that's a good sign. Now, I have a Nikon D40 with a telephoto lens and a stock lens, a strobe, a tripod, a few different UV filters, and two very large SD cards. Before the reception and the actual ceremony I'm going to take a few minutes out to make sure I have a good location, good lighting, settings adjusted properly, and etc. My question is there anything in particular I should or shouldn't do? Any helpful tips? If any one could give me some links to some sites with wedding photos, or maybe show me theirs that would be especially helpful. All help is appreciated.

Photo stores, or even a library, have books about just the thing you are going to do. Special books about Weddings and available light, and many similar topics. I'd check at a photo store that does custom prints because they would understand your questions.

You should not be doing this, but we will not get into that discussion for the one thousandth time.
