Does anyone have any suggestions on how to photograph a church wedding
without using a flash? The church's existing tungsten lighting is
relatively dim even during the day. Any and all suggestions are

welcomed.

It is a problem you have to get over. Many ministers don't allow flash but
the bride and parents do expect a good photo. If conditions are real bad a
good cop out is to set up your tripod, fast film, and med format at a high
vantage point and do a 'General scene' shot. Can be very good if the church
has a gallery.
No minister objects to flash when signing the resister. You can find lots of
scope there to pose a couple of good shots.
Make sure you have a good photofinisher who will be able to help sort out
the mix of daylight and tungsten lighting with the finished prints.
