Shooting a wedding this summer? Worried about the virus? Here are our top Covid wedding tips:

• If they're having a wedding beyond the legal limits (eg too many guests) tell them you feel uncomfortable and suggest shorter coverage so you don't have to be there longer than you feel comfortable
• Short coverage is a good option so that you don't have to shoot prep or anything else in close quarters. We've started at the ceremony for our weddings this summer
• People talk about insurance being invalid if you shoot an non-compliant wedding, so check yours
• Wear a mask even if no one else is. This reminds them to stay the fuck away from you
• Fold a Kleenex up along the top edge of the mask to stop your viewfinder and glasses from steaming up
• Bring a second shooter so you don't have to dash through crowds to get to the action
• Manage expectations - this is a big one. Tell your couple what you expect from them and how you'll be working
• Tell them to nominate someone to organise the group photos
• Do group shots far away from the action so Uncle Bob isn't over your shoulder (in the wedding below there was literally an Uncle Bob - real name - stepping in front of me to get my group shot, as the whole wedding took place in a tiny car park!)
• Put families in bubbles for group shots
• Tell them if you feel unsafe you will be stepping away and keeping a distance
• Confetti and bubbles - pockets of Covid flying in your face? No thanks! Suggest your couple get a bubble machine
• Elbow bumps - grooms seem to love these, but they mean your face is  a foot away from theirs. Get an enthusiastic wave in there before they can get close to you
• Address it at the start of the day so they remember where you're at - "I won't come and hug you, but hello/congrats!!" *make hug gesture*
• Have fun - these mini weddings are actually fab!
• You're documenting a moment in history, so enjoy it.
