Sounds like fun. Couple of thoughts... halogen work lights good idea, mixing with daylight balanced flash might give you some undesireable color casts and might be hard to fix. You can gel your flash or maybe even do with out it. In either case your best bet is to try it out first before the event. Thought number 2 - controlling depth of field - with 22 faces out there there may be a lot of distance between the closest set of eyes and the ones furthest away. So you'll need to put some thought into how you arrange them. I am guessing the halogens set to evenly light that many folks isn't going to give you a whole lot of light to get a decent shutter speed and great dof. Good to know what kind of coverage those halogens will provide beforehand. Maybe they would spring for the cost of renting some pro lighting gear?
