Smile How To Take Christening Photos

Hi All,
I have been asked to take some photos of a christening and am quite comfortable with the outside pics but its the inside of a large church that i am wary of. Im afraid that the shots may come out with too much glare from the flash or blurry from too little flash. I plan on using my D90, 55-200mm lens with a SB-900 flash. Any help would be so apreciated.

For this type of image you don't have the luxury of setting up studio lights or reflectors, so use a speedlight with a bounce card with the flash angled down slightly with a rather high ISO like 400 or 800. Shoot several captures varying the angle of the flash head/bounce card.

Thanks Benji, i will use the bounce card in the speedlite. Thanks for the tip on the iso setting too.
