[QUOTE="Felisek, post: 531670, member: 23887"] I have been asked to do friends' wedding in May. I don't have any experience in wedding photography and very limited experience in portrait photos. I'm afraid I'm going to be pesky and ask a lot of questions! I thought I'd rather divide them into separate topics for clarity. I apologise in advance for creating a lot of mess here. [SIZE=4][FONT=arial black]Equipment[/FONT][/SIZE] The equipment I have is as follows: [LIST] [*]D7100 [*]D610 (I can borrow it for the wedding) [/LIST] [COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR] [LIST] [*][COLOR=#000000]Tokina 11-16 mm f/2.8 AT-X Pro DX II[/COLOR] [*][COLOR=#000000]Sigma 17-50 mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM OS[/COLOR] [*][COLOR=#000000]Sigma 50-150 mm f/2.8 APO EX DC OS[/COLOR] [*][COLOR=#000000]Sigma 150-600 mm f/5-6.3 DG HSM OS[/COLOR] [*][COLOR=#000000]Nikkor 55-200 mm f/4-5.6 VR[/COLOR] [*][COLOR=#000000]Nikkor 85 mm f/1.8 G [/COLOR] [/LIST] [COLOR=#000000](I need to ask what FX lenses I can borrow with the D610, I'm sure there is a 50 mm) [LIST] [*]SB700 [/LIST] [LIST] [*]2 x YN-565EX [*]2 x YN-622N [/LIST] [/COLOR] [LIST] [*][COLOR=#000000]YN-622N-TX [/COLOR] [*][COLOR=#000000]2 x white shoot-through umbrellas [/COLOR] [*][COLOR=#000000]2 x silver reflective umbrellas [/COLOR] [*][COLOR=#000000]2 x 9"x9" foldable soft boxes[/COLOR] [/LIST] [COLOR=#000000](again, the person I'm borrowing the D610 from has a few older Nikon flashes) If I'm very lucky I might buy a D500 just before the wedding, but I wouldn't count on that. [SIZE=4][FONT=arial black]Requested photos[/FONT][/SIZE] The list of required photos is as follows. I will describe each venue in a separate thread with pictures. This is a long and complicated list and I haven't discussed it with the B&G yet. Any advice on logistics? Should I request shortening the list?
