inspiration needed

[Harvey_nikon]

hi all,

On Sat, if the weather holds out I have been asked to take some photos of a friend in her wedding dress with her new husband. It is NOT A WEDDING THREAD so don't worry

They had their wedding last month, they've been on their honeymoon and they have been asked if they would like to have some extra photos taken at a local stately homes gardens. Obviously they jumped at the chance and they were just going to have her dad with his P&S do them, until she decided to ask me.

I am going to be using my D60 and 18-55 kit lens + 50mm prime. I've no flash/external light source but will be trying to get a reflector in time.

However, I want some inspiration before we go. I haven't seen the grounds yet as they are private so that doesn't help.

have any of you got any links to guides on taking this kind of shots? or links to other photographers sites where I can look for inspiration?

There is a photographer on here that does amazing natural light shots, I'll try and find the thread, sorry, can't remember her name off hand.

If you can't get a "proper" reflector in time, i read on a DIY site that you can use either the reflective windscreen covers you put in cars or one of those silver blankets they wrap athletes in to keep warm, to good effect.
