Yeah, it can be challenging. My advice, shoot on Shutter Priority to ensure blur-free shots (or at least try to) For me, I'd rather deal with sensor noise in post than motion blur, which really can't be fixed ever. Shoot a lot. Move around as much as you can.

Good luck!

If you start getting nervous, just take a deep breath and remember - it could be a lot worse, you're only the photographer. You could be the groom.

That's where those fast f2.8 lenses come in handy,

It did get alot worse! - nerves-wise. Aside from the horde of extortionately paid buisinessmen (parents) in attendance, it turned out we also had 1 convicted murderer, a bridesmaid that worked for "Perfect Wedding Magazine" and the man who runs Peel Engineering - providing us with the worlds smallest car (peel car - Google Search) - making this the world's smallest wedding car which may now be featured in The Sun tabloid (one of the biggest papers in the UK).

It was a tremendous reception - now I have 14gig of photos to trawl through! In reference to my post a week or so ago about fisheyes - I bought the 10mm Sigma and I think it was probably one of the best things I've ever done - really captured the personalities of the people involved Once all is done, I'm sure I'll put up a link or something for all to see
