[QUOTE="Somersetscott, post: 196365, member: 10691"] As Marcel suggests if you are worried about capability it is probably worth turning it down. - But if you fancy a crack and the Bride and Groom are fully aware of your skill, worries and accept the risk i'm sure there is information that can be provided to help you. One of the wedding photographer top tips is 'Scoping the area' - find out all the juicy details, Venue(s), time of day, Date/season, rough amount of people, - chance of rain, cloud, bright sunshine. Then go and practice at the venues if possible. Pretend as if the bridal couple and guests were there, where you would stand and get snapping - carefully inspecting your results and recording settings for what works best. I guess you're thinking of every eventuality - 'here is a good place for the group photo' - 'here is good for if it rains' - 'oh shoot better watch out for that window letting light in like that' - 'dark in here, better come up with a solution' In a church no-one wants to see your flash going off - in fact I think it isn't allowed in the UK churches. So the old trade off - ISO vs Shutter Vs Aperture.. again - it depends on where you're standing, the features of the room/hall/church and the light that is in there. Also - you may want to test out some post processing software - if you haven't already. I use Lightroom 4, it takes a while to get used to the workflow but I have salvaged some heavily under exposed images and 'blown out' whites (especially on windows) in photos which I see as invaluable. I don't rely on this, obviously its best to get it spot on in the camera. Hope this helps Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
