[QUOTE="RocketCowboy, post: 583914, member: 25095"] Howdy and welcome to Nikonites! If you would post an image showing your problem, we can provide more meaningful feedback since otherwise we have to recreate what we think the scenario is and advise from there. My guess ... if you are used to running fully auto and are putting a speed light on top of the camera in TTL mode, the camera is still going to try and get as much physical exposure from the lens before factoring in the speed light. That would end up with you shooting at f/2.8 and having shallow depth of field. As Sparky and Marcel pointed out, you'll want to manually close down the aperture a bit for more depth of field (and a wider lens helps here as well), and consequently you'll need to up your ISO in order to keep your shutter speed somewhere reasonable. If I'm running flash on TTL, I'll tend to set my aperture for the background and shutter speed to something like 1/160, then adjust ISO based on what the flash is putting out. I would highly recommend trying to get into the facility at roughly the same time of day and same lighting conditions that you'll have for the ceremony, so you can test your settings before the big day.
