So, last month I posted that I am about to do a photoshoot of a wedding and reception [Lighting setup for wedding reception photography - Two soft boxes]. Here is what I got:
1. @Derrel gave me an idea of lighting to set one main light soft box camera left and fill light close to camera. I got feed back from the guests that the fill light is blocking them from the couple. So I had to move it to right side of camera with 2 stops less power.
2. The hall was too small once the guests started filling in.
3. I had 70 - 200 mm Canon lens on a canon 5D mark iii body.
4. The lens was NOT suitable for such a short length hall - I understood as soon as I started taking pictures.
5. These all said I could get some decent pics as well. I am posting the low quality image links here.
I know mere word won't suffice but thanks is all I can keep saying. thephotoforum has helped me a lot getting me up to this stage. I agree I have to walk a long. Though, the first step has become possible through the confidence I gained at thephotoforum.

- I was not able to achieve focus at subject - So few portraits have lost their crispness.
- Group pic. was a nightmare. I had to literally go to the extreme of the hall to cover the complete stage width. And before I frame, guests between camera and stage used to pop-up their heads .
- There were few other problems as well - I will post separately as individual threads get your advice.
