| learn about exposure, flash et cetera, if you knew both these things you wont be asking the questionshould be enough flash depends on the appetures you use and how far from your subjects you are, if your shooting on anything other than manual dont get to far from your subjectswhats the GN of that flash?all that said congradulations and best of luck, carry lots of batteries for the flash, use rechargables if you can they have more grunt (2000mha+), spare mem cards or film etc |

| Yes, it will do if you're shooting with a Canon SLR. Be careful, though. E-TTL II is a good tool, but it tends to overexpose if you are not careful. Bounce the flash off walls/ceiling whenever possible. Check histogram on your images to make sure you get the exposure right. Make sure you practice a lot before the wedding and carry spare batteries. |
