Hey everybody, I'm new here.

..Well anyways I'm going to be doing my first wedding in a few weeks and I'm not sure on what to exactly buy. Here's what I've considered so far:

-Extra batteries
-A flash diffuser for my 430ex (don't have one,but it's going to be at the beach in the morning so I wouldn't need it there. The brunch is going to be at a restaurant so I'm thinking I might need it there)
-More memory (maybe 4gig)

Anything else I might be forgetting?

-Thanks

How about a litedisc or reflector.

I have a 20D, Canon 50mm f/1.8 & 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5, Tokina 10-17mm & a 430ex. I also have a off camera shoe cord for off camera flash.

I like the reflector idea posted above. Maybe work up a little bounce card to attach to the flash too. I'd forget the diffuser unless you have time to practice with it. I think the times to use it are few and far between.

More batteries for both camera & flash would be good. You're dead in the water when those die. Memory if you think you'd fill up your cards.

Maybe consider a circular polarizing or gradient type filter for the beach lighting. - Do you know if the couple will be backlit or not?

Don't really know if the couple will be backlit or not. I Already have a circular polarizing filter.

Thanks for the suggestions!
