[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 303844, member: 14443"] no matter what people will write here, only experience will teach you to shoot a wedding properly. no crash course can teach a person to be proficient at anything overnight. What lenses would be best? Wide angle 14-24 2.8 17-35 2.8 16-35 f4 VR midrange 17-55 2.8 24-70 2.8 tele 80-200 2.8 70-200 2.8 add an 85, 105 and a 50 as well. fisheye is nice also. since youre a newbie, I suggest you find a pro to do the job and tag along. but since youre inclined to do it and the event is outdoors, then youll be fine in terms of lenses. inside, youd be screwed. just be aware, that outdoors (as much as it seems easy because of the ample light) photography is very difficult with backlighting and using EC. its not easy at all. you have to be smarter than the cameras metering. well, camera. you need two cameras two flashes . although you can get away without a flash if its outdoors how people take newcomers to photo their most important day, I dont know. I feel bad for the couple. you may be able to get decent shots for them. but a pro wedding photog would know where to stand at the right time. understands about perspectives better. exposure, lighting. the technical side of the camera. maybe find another person who has some gear and ask him to join you so that person can shoot another angle to yours for backup. because missed shots will happen. dont think it wont. it happens every wedding that I miss something small or dont get it the way I want. all I will say is get extra memory cards and batteries. swap them often and shoot on CH. all the time. [B] But I still want it to turn out amazing[/B] not going to happen. your enthusiasm is good. be realistic though. should look better than a smartphone. if youre asking what lenses and using kit lenses and you wrote yourself "newbie" then no. be upfront with her. oh and shoot raw.
