Guys

I have been asked to take photos at a friends wedding tomorrow! The good thing is that there are only going to be 12 guests in total. The wedding is going to be very informal i.e. no typical wedding dress etc.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could offer me some tips with regards to shots, settings etc (you can see my kit below). I will be shotting in RAW.

Many thanks!

Not much time to study. Get close, get far away, get up, get down. Pay attention, capture the emotion. High ISO forget the flash.

a wedding with 12?
that will be easy..
prob shoot with the Sigma 17-70mm for the church or whatever they are having the cermorny in and then get some nice portrait shots with either the Canon 85mm f/1.8 or the 50mm f/1.4.

Flash is distracting to everyone, use it if absolutely necessary. I've only ever used flash for one ceremony, it was strongly backlit and there wasn't any other good choice - no flash would mean horrible photos.
