First Wedding - Amateur, I'm nervous, PLEASE HELP! in Wedding & Event Posted July 9, 2002 I am an amateur (actually, super-newbie)shooting my first wedding for a friend. There will be a professional there, but only for the formals, but I'd like to try to do some formals as well. I won't be getting paid for this, but I would like to do a bang-up job! The ceremony will be outdoors near a lagoon & the reception will be indoors at the recreational center. I will be using a Canon 7e with 550EX, lumiquest, 24-85mm f3.5-4.5, 70-210mm f2.8, 50mm f1.8. No tripod. Backup will be a Rebel G body. I want to do the best I can, but I need some honest advice. Could someone please give me advice on the following? I APPRECIATE ANY/ALL PROFESSIONAL/AMATEUR TIPS: Type of film: I've seen threads saying that Fuji NPH 400 rated at 320 and Kodak T400CN will be appropriate. Should I stick with manual or auto focus? If auto, which priority? Shutter: any info please! Flash: indoor & outdoor? Sync at? I appreciate all your responses and will let you know how they go. I will be doing a test run the next couple of days and see how they come out and will post my results. Thanks in advance!
