Try to be confident, talk to your subjects and build a rapport, even even if you may only be shooting them for a small or two. Place your subjects at ease. If you are stiff and tense, the chances are that your subjects will pick up on this and subsequently will feel tense and uncomfortable too.
Be as professional as possible, and if you make a mistake just shoot again, say a touch like, " let’s have another like the last one." or "one more like that"
Know your equipment inside out… learn to change lenses quickly and take your shots effectively. Slowing everything down will often help you achieve a excellent shot. Don’t forget to watch the background and framing as well as the subjects’ expressions.
But most of all, delight in the experience. Weddings are often a tough gig, for obvious reasons, so don’t beat yourself up if you don’t get the exact shots you had pictured in your mind.
It’s a fantastic chance being called on by your photographer to take shots… Watch how she deals with the shoot and work like her. You’ll doubtless not get it absolutely aptly first time but have a debrief with the photographer afterwards to work out where things could have gone better and what things were spot on and learn by the experience!
Excellent luck and have fun!
why are you asking on here and not the person you are assisting?
just use it as experience, you’ll learn tons more from being there than us telling you.
You have been working with her for the past few months and you have not picked up these basic tips yet?. Use your common sense.
If you need tips from strangers on how "not to embarrass yourself" then I reckon you had better just stay at home.
