So I have some friends of mine who are getting married tomorrow. They're having a fairly interesting and unique wedding, having one of our friends ordained, getting married in an old movie theater, etc.
A few months ago they, knowing I had a "good" camera, wanted me to be the "back-up" photographer. Meaning, in the course of my enjoying the reception, I was to take some "interesting" shots during the wedding and reception. They had another friend, doing her first-ever wedding. No biggie, sounds like good practice, plus I'd still get to enjoy the revelry of the night without getting too bogged down with pictures.
So today I get a message from them... their friend has babysitting issues, and thus can't leave her kid. Suddenly, I am now responsible for, at least, the pre-wedding shots, including bride and groom, and the bridal party. God knows if I'll be responsible for the ceremony shots, too.
So.... yeah.
I have one day to prepare (less, I have to go to work today).
My equipment is thus:
Canon Rebel XTi with an extra battery
18-55 non-IS lens (stock lens basically)
A tripod
Two eyes, a mouth, and a goofy smile
...anyone have any suggestions?
