I will be doing a wedding for this dark skinned young lady (groom also dark skinned). She will be wearing a white dress with lots of detail. The venue is outside on a dock and it may be sun /shade or some combination of the two.
My nightmare is the sun getting just high enough to put the ceremony half in shade and half in sun.
She will be walking out of the woods onto the dock. Does anyone have suggestions on this type of situation? If I meter on her face will I blow out the details on her dress. I will be shooting in RAW so would it be better to error on the side of overexposure? I will only be using natural light so no fill light.
I will have two cameras a Sony a33 with a 50mm 1.7 lens and a Cannon EOS xsi with a 18-55mm
I figured I would set the Cannon on a tripod up on the bank overlooking the ceremony . Any advice on this situation? There will only be a couple dozen people at the most. The bride is willing to move things around for best results. Is it better to go sun or shade for the group photos?
Thank you for your advice.
