Was designated as the official photographer for a friend's wedding. It was definitely a lot of running around, a lot of mental preparation and a lot of stress and sweat, but in the end, the final product was not only to their liking, but also to mine. I was very glad to give my friends the very best of my efforts
My setup was Pentax AF540FGZ flash (my baby!!), Pentax DA 40mm Limited, and the 18mm end of the Pentax DA 18-55mm kit lens. That's right. I used two focal lengths for the entire wedding... 90% of the shots coming from the Pentax DA 40mm Limited. I was lucky in that the roof was just low enough that I could use ceiling bounce flash for most shots.
As the room was very dark, it made it very difficult to shoot in even low light (in fact, other than a few spot lights, there was hardly any illumination at all!!). Thanks for my flash, I was able to capture the ambient darkness, but highlight the main subjects.
I have to admit that I was pretty nervous going in, but once I got into my element everything starting to work out.
