[QUOTE="westmill, post: 60595, member: 9330"] Equipment wise.... you certainly need a flash ! Its very poss, if not likely, that flash will not be permitted during the ceromony. Your 35mm F1.8 could act as a get me out of jail free card here. A good fast standard zoom like the 17-55 or tamron 17-50 is all that you need for a wedding. The chances are, you shall be stuck in one spot for the ceromony itself. A bit of a zoom will allow at least a degree of composition. Weddings are a challange ! You seriously need to know how to use your equipment in all situations. There are few types of photography that are so diverse as wedding photography. You have dark interiors of the church, with high ceilings, all mannor of background, both light and dark etc. Often set places amongst the grounds for posed shots outside the church, regardless of where the sun is. Shots at the brides home etc. Every wedding is also different. There is a lot of flash work involved. Often fill in flash is required outside. You need to be good and confident with people too. Its down to you to arrange and organise the pics. They wont just organise themselves. Always make sure you ask the bride and groom if there are any special photos they would like etc. You need to be polite but firm ! So smile a lot when asking uncle joe shift his ass :) Knowledge is far more important than the equipment. Doubts ring in my ears as to your knowledge or confidence level in needing to ask the questions in a way. We all have to start somwhere though, and if you feel confident enough..... Maybe you could explain to the couple the exact situation, and offer to do the wedding at cost rather than for proffit. This way, could possibly bennafit both of you ! Just a thought :D [/QUOTE]
