I am due to shoot a friend's wedding in just under two weeks time, and although it isn't strictly "professional", I want to make as good a job of it as possible.
However, we visited the venue yesterday, and I took along my kit - 6D with 24 - 105 f4, 7d with 70 - 200 f4 and a Sigma flash.
Although I have been to the place before, I have never taken any shots inside, and so it came as a shock to me, that I was having to use between ISO 12800 and ISO 25600 at around 1/80 f4 and even then I had to push an extra stop in PP, and the resulting quality was shocking.
So, why didn't I use my flash I hear you say?
Well, the guy who will be in charge of the ceremony on the day, said that flash photography is a "no no" during the ceremony, which means that I am going to be severely compromised taking shots of the couple, exchanging of rings etc.
My flash photography can start with the signing of the register.
I have however looked at other photographer's portfolios who have worked at this venue, and you can tell that they have used flash (shadows etc) during the ceremony.
Even if I could get my hands on a 50mm 1.8/1.4 would this really make much difference?
Any help and suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers.
