I was wondering what other wedding photographers bring with them to shoot the ceremony and reception. I have been using SB900 with Gary Fong light diffusers. I have to say that we have been pretty successful with that set up however at times when available light is poor, the SB900 overheats.
I'd like to think about introducing some off camera strobes during the reception as most venues are dim at best. Can you offer any set up suggestions and maybe a little description on technique.
Lastly once in a while here in sunny Florida a couple will have an outdoor venue that has a little gazebo. They fall in love with the idea of being married under the canopy that the gazebo roof offers. This has proven very difficult to shoot. As everyone can imagine the bride, groom and officiant are in open shade, however the bright daylight is just feet behind them. Any advice on how some of you mastered this environment? ( it's like take a photo of someone in a living room right in front a window with the sun shining very bright outside...)
Thanks for any suggestions, I'm sure other photographers on the forum face similar challenges and will benefit from the time spent answering....
