Help - I don't want to mess it up.

Hi


Tomorrow I'm taking some photos of a very good friend the groom getting ready for his wedding, and following him down (I would add I’m not being paid). They have a professional at the event but have asked me to take photos at that as well, i.e. the guests and while I’m around as I’m also a guest to catch the moment?


My problem is that I’ve hardly ever taken pictures of people it’s just not my thing and the groom hasn’t given me any idea of what he wants. What kind of things should I look out for and take? I’m also stuck on what lens or lenses to take the options I’ve got is as follows


Canon EF 70-200mm F2.8 Mkii IS

Canon EF 17-40mm F4

Canon EF 50mm II F1.8


I also don’t own a Flash, I’ve got a ring flash is it worth taking that. I wish I had said no to the whole thing, and just take my camera and if they are rubbish don’t have to produce anything.


Help I don’t want to mess this up for a friend
