| Im looking into buying a studio light umbrella set, you can get the umbrella in black, silver or white. Is there a better colour to buy when shooting indoors with models? |

| White or silver, you may need some diffusion fabric as well. You can buy them, or just go to a fabric store and buy a transluscent fabric and make them on the cheap. |

| There are two uses of the umbrella when shooting indoors.* Reflective (silver and gold umbrellas are used)* Shoot-through (translucent with umbrellas are used)Take a look at my MM link listed with my profile here and you will see examples studio shots using only one light and a white umbrella |

| If you are buying a studio light set as opposed to normal speedlights that you might see atop a 35mm camera, then you should have enough power to try various options. You can purchase a white umbrella that has black on the outside. This helps to prevent light escaping when you bounce your studio strobe into the umbrella. I have one of these umbrellas. The outer black can be removed and then the strobe is designed to shoot through the umbrella. This gives an even softer light. The next step on from that, in quality and price, is a soft box which could be described as a combination of both of the above setups. It is a box with a translucent front that the stobe shoots through but also has a black backing. |

| for modelling work i prefer the translucent white as this gives a lovely soft light, if standard portraiture is your bag the gold reflective is a good alternative |

| Instead of rushing out and buying something you have no idea how to use I suggest you first read a few books on studio lighting. Any book by the late Monte Zucker on portrait lighting will be worthwhile. There are literally thousands of other books on studio lighting.Visit your library and ask if they have back issues of Shutterbug Magazine. If so, read the Oct. 2007 issue. The Oct. issue is always dedicated to lighting. You can also read the articles at shutterbug.com.Educate yourself first and you'll make an intelligent decision as to what to buy - or not buy. |

Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...

The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
