Always have a plan B, bring extra batteries, memory cards, and think about the routes and how long it will take to get into the location. If you must, attend the rehearsal and you may be able to gather more information that is helpful. Make sure to use more than one camera with different lenses. Consider having more than one photographer to capture all the important events in more than one angle and to prevent less moving around. It also takes the pressure off.
