Hi Guys,
So here is the scenario. My wife and I are guests at her cousins wedding very soon and I got asked by the happy couple if I would "bring my camera" to take some photos from a guests perspective. They have an official Tog doing the wedding but not the reception and they have made the same request of 3 other guests who are also Amateur Photographers like myself.
My initial response was I felt they could end up with some very jaded guests if they have 4 wannabe David Baileys pointing their cameras at everyone throughout the day. Not to be deterred they insisted that one of the 4 ATs would be coordinating it so I reluctantly agreed to pack my gear.
I still think I may stil try to quietly leave the gear in the bag and let the others get on with the happy couples plan but just in case I am looking for advice.
Has anyone been in this situation, if so what advice can you give re capturing unusual or cherished shots?
I think I have some decent gear to handle low light situations without firing flash off all day which may help me set some more natural shots. I was thinking of sticking to one or two lenses.
Equipment I have:
5D2
5D3
Sigma 12-24mm f4.5-5.6
Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8L USM
Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM
Canon EF 85mm f1.8 USM
Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM
Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8 L IS II USM
Canon Speedlite 430EX II
Canon MR-14EX II Macrolight
So I am thinking maybe the 24-70 and the 70-200 and the 5D3 ?
