Default Wedding photography help

Hi all,

I am in need of some advice. I have been asked to take photos for my sister's wedding next May, but I am new to photography, and have not done anything that will have the pressure of this scale. Yes, I am aware of what I am letting myself in for (I hope), although she is not expecting a professional set of images.

I want to take well composed shots ranging from close up portraits to wider shots including the family and other guests. I like the images shown at Samuel J Images.com, but I fully appreciate they were taken by a professional.

I have a Canon EOS 400D, the kit 18-55mm lens, a 50mm f1.8 prime, and a 70-300mm lens. All non IS. I also have a tripod and remote release cable. I am guessing that I would need a flash gun, a reflector, and a whole lot more knowledge than I have currently. I could use some suggestions for what kit you think that I should / will need.

I have read some of the articles posted on the site via the feeds regarding weddings, and they are a good place to learn, but I could use more specific, targeted tutuorials also. If you are aware of any, please post them here.


Any and all advice is welcome.

Thanks,

Chris
