Candlelight Wedding

[Andrea_Leigh3]

I need help I will be photographing a candlelight wedding next fall in the evening and the only light might be candles. I am trying to convince the couple that although very pretty this would be a bad choice. So I still have to plan. Is there any tips anyone could give me of course I will practice in the location.

Just to give you the details- OUTDOOR, FALL, EVENING, ONLY CANDLE LIGHT

Any other helpful tips?

LARGE APERTURE lens. The 50mm 1.4 would be a good start. If you are only going to have candle light I would also get a (good) tripod

EDIT: Or as said, TALK HER OUT OF IT :lol:

You have to warn her again, outside candlelight weddings would be very hard to capture without flash - and flash would ruin the mood. I would strongly recommend going to the rehersal, in fact i'd say it's essential. Your only hope is wide apertures and a tripod, or perhaps flash and dragging the shutter if it's allowed.

I would probably warn the bride, in writing, that getting good photos will be tough, and that you're not promising any. Word it nicer than that tho.
