Okay, so i've been asked to do my first wedding...now the thing is..it's at NIGHT...and it's in the winter....problematic already... I'll have equiptment... 85L, 24-70L, 70-200 2.8L IS...a 430EX and 580EX, 5D and 30D...my question is.... Any ideas for the posed shots before? They will be at an old mansion but since it's going to be dark, i'm not too sure what to do?

Thanks

Can you do the posed shots before it gets dark? And have a more journalistic approach for the wedding. That way you don't need to worry as much about perfect lighting.

I wish, but I can't make it there till at the earliest 4PM...it will be dark..This is a strange wedding...not the ordinary type..older couple (40 or so years old)...The house is gorgeous, i've spent a lot of time there...but i'm just not sure for the posed shots...any ideas?
