[QUOTE="Fat Fingers, post: 542632, member: 41715"] This is the UK so you wont be using any flash because the registrars wont allow it ....would you want to anyway? do you want them to know you took 150 pics.....Its not just a bride and groom in there there are 100 people sitting facing you with kids and tears to photograph. You wont be setting up flash stands as there is probably another wedding 30 min before yours...and if you did you would need your PAT test certificates and pubic liability insurance ..same goes for the hotel ..oh what joy. Looking down the aisle you will stand on the RHS so you can see the bride probably behind that rail , move the flowers a bit when no one is looking (it should be in your contract that you can do things like that if it affects the photography ) Stay behind the registrars eye line so you can move a bit. this assumes they will not do the wedding facing the congregation which is becoming more common and can catch you out. Registrars get very upset if you "machine gun" as they call it and may ask you to leave so use a quiet camera preferably a D810..Some will restrict the photography to only coming down the aisle/rings/kiss others will not allow photos when anyone is speaking ( take the pic between the words !!! ) Photography of signing the register is not permitted by law so you will have to pose it up after. Some will allow photos if the lens is below table height. They will only sit to sign the register ..make sure the groom is on the brides RHS..move them if you have to ...I always use only one chair and make the groom stand. Make sure the groom is on the brides RHS when they come down the aisle and stop them for a kiss.

Set your D7100 to f5,6 or 8 auto iso 200-6400 min 1/30 and off you go ..you will have no problem with the lighting unless of course there is a beam of sunlight across part of the couple !!!!
