Wedding - which 35mm films to use
Two of my friends are getting married. They don't have the funds to
hire a photographer so they were just going to put disposable cameras around and use those photos. They asked me to take a few shots. By chance I have studio equipment (Photogenic PowerLights®, Photogenic PhotoMaster). I was planning to take some posed shots with my studio lights before the ceremony. The want a shot coming down the aisle and just two or three during the ceremony. I can use flash when the are coming down the aisle but not during the ceremony. I don't know what the lighting situation is in the church. I was planning on taking Portra 100NC for the posed shots, coming down the aisle, and some candid shots at the reception. I was thinking Portra 400NC or Porta 800 for during the ceremony. I was also thinking a roll of Reala. They know to take what the get since I am not a professional. Without me, they will not have much of anything so... I will be traveling 250 miles the day before and I may not have access to refrigeration. Any thoughts? |

I hope you have shown as good judgment in explaining that you are not a professional wedding photographer (It is a specialty and not every professional photographer would be any good at it) and that they should not expect the same results. Sometimes I think someone in your position should make the sign a statement that they fully understand and accept that. :-) Good Luck I suggest you brows some wedding books at the library (Brides Today, Modern Weddings etc.) They should give you some ideas. Make a list of what you want and try to check them off. If you don't know them well, find someone who knows both families well and is not doing something else during the wedding. Use them to point out who is important family members and to work as your gofer. (go for the brides mother, go for the best man, etc.) -- Joseph E. Meehan 26 + 6 = 1 It's Irish Math |

I will be traveling 250 miles the day before and I may not have access
to refrigeration. Any thoughts? 1. Don't do it. 2. Use medium format. |
