<p>I offered to take free wedding pictures for a friend/acquaintance when I thought it was an informal, back-yard deal. Now it turns out to be much more formal in a fancy place. It will be indoor/outdoor, and the facility is a converted barn and has a large outdoor pavillion. I call myself a photographer, and have taken a few senior pictures, but I feel I am out of my league. I've told my friend this and she insists that she likes my photos and not to worry. I have a canon Rebel Xti. I'm told I need a flash, but have no clue what kind or where to buy it. I have a great eye for shots, and there will be lots of opportunities for shots on tractors or haystacks, etc, but if it rains I'm screwed. I also have a problem where my 4gb card gets "busy" after four or five consecutive shots even it it's not that full. A friend is lending me her same camera so I will have two. Any other equipment I should get and where? Thanks in advance for your help.<br>

I'm taking some senior portraits for friends and others in outside settings. I have a Canon Rebel XTi. What kind of

lighting do I need, and what is the best course of action on a limited budget? Will I be okay taking my chances

with natural light?
