[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 486503, member: 8705"] I'm no expert on wedding photography and others here are more experienced than I but here are a few thoughts. Firstly, the lens question. Ideally for a DX camera a 35mm (F1.8 or 2.8) or wider prime lens would be good for indoors in bedrooms etc. I would also have a little think about flash, preferably not just the pop up type but one you can bounce off a wall or ceiling to avoid the horrors of on camera flash. If you have flash you can then get away with a slower 18-xx zoom lens. I think the most important thing is to try practice shots in the same rooms (Or similar) with a willing subject so you can get a feel for how the light will look and can be modified. It will also get you thinking about poses and any natural window light. I think the most important thing is getting the light right so you have well exposed pictures with no nasty shadows. When practicing you can get the ISO, aperture and shutter speeds somewhere near where you need them. If you do use a flash you can pretty much choose whatever ISO, aperture or shutter speed you want. Sorry if this seems a bit basic, but you want it to be simple and relatively predictable on the day so you can still enjoy the wedding and not start breaking into a sweat because everything is under exposed, out of focus etc. [/QUOTE]
