Details:

For the Ceremony, my assistant and I arrived at New Tribes Mission headquarters in Sanford, FL about an hour before the ceremony started to set up and get some establishing shots of the building, etc. One camera was on a stationary tripod on the right side of the room and the second camera was on a tripod mounted on a dolly.  The dolly allowed the second camera to move and follow the action as the father of the bride and the bride walked down the aisle.  The stationary camera was located to the front right of the room to get the bagpipers that were playing in the foyer of NTM. 

For the Reception, which was held at Covenant Community Church, I captured all the major moments and a lot of the crowd arriving and mingling.  I used a second unmanned camera during the intros, toasts and cake cutting. The lighting was excellent, in that it was very bright, which means I didn't need to add any on camera lighting.  The way the room was laid out, it was difficult at times to get the groups dancing, because there wasn't a lot of room around the dance floor, but there was plenty of room for the first dances and slow dances.
