Jason, Consider shooting the wedding for free. Go take 80 shots, and make them the most important 10 shots of the wedding: formals, cake...
Jason, I like to encourage people to do weddings. But I would not take this wedding from a stranger. Fashion and glamour photography only...
95% of the time: 100 ASA 5% of the time: 400 ASA Portra I don't need speed very often because I have large amounts of flash power...
35 weddings a year is not unmanagable. By using a slower method of ordering, this forces family members to "batch order". By using an easy...
I agree with Nadine on the matter of the professional photographer taking some control over the situation. The couple really wants a perfect...
Nadine, I like the picture you have posted very much. So, I don't think that using a black screen in this particular photo will do much to...
Crystal Durr: I recommended to you to use a incident flash meter. It is there in my original post. Take readings at a 1/2 body shot...
Al Kaplan is just a man after my own heart: Manual. It is very simple, you pre-focus on a pew edge. When the bride or bridesmaids get to...
I would not "leave it up to Photoshop" as was suggested above. You could "run out of color" and fail to achieve neutral tones in your darker...
Regarding Nadine's Comment: "E-TTL is unpredictable, in my opinion,..." And further comments regarding: "Bracket it....." And further:...

Dimitrije, Just so you don't become frustrated by Marc's comment, let me say that I agree with you from a business and technical lab point of...
I came across a solution for these outdoors shots, and a solution for decreasing the sunlight on the couple, and for warming up the light of the...
Edit out "closed eyes", pick the best 2 of 4-5 of a situation; show the rest; listen to their complaints and comments.
Don't forget the leaf-shutter Canon QL-17 iii. Leaf shutters are very quiet; great fill-in tool.
Steve, I am not going to tell the readers to try to duplicate what you do. The reason is that the reader's equipment and abilities and...
Steve, Let me qualify that a "fraction of an f stop" is nearly nothing in this situation.
Steve, What you are doing is scientifically tight. The "kiss" of extra fill will result in a darkner background, but it is so unnoticable,...
I will add that I used a Mamiya Press Super 23 6x7 for a decade. The Mamiya 7 is certainly in that category of camera. It had a f3.5 aperture;...
The one shot that could work with macro: a picture of a single rose which could be placed in the porthole of the front of the wedding album.
