Working as third for the first time!

[MrMagoo65]

So I was recently hired by a local (to me) professional studio. They agreed to bring me on, shooting as a third, then a second, mainly as a "tryout" (for lack of a better term). This is a paid "tryout," and I anticipate landing the job as a trusted photographer for their studio. They did like my portfolio, but also wanted to make sure that I would be able to shoot "in their style."

With that out of the way, my main question was what gear should I carry out of my available gear. The wedding is traditional Church, Outdoor posed, then darkish reception hall.

I was thinking:
1Ds MkII with 24-105 and 580 EXII (with available external power if needed)
1D Mk II with 70-200 and 565 EX (Yongnuo)

Any and all input would be appreciated...Thanks in advance!

I would suggest asking the primary guy what he wants your roll to be....... I don't think there's anything wrong with your setup (except maybe the off brand flash on the second camera), but maybe they'll want you to use in a different way.

Point taken...I will ask what role he wants me to take. He had mentioned both shooting candids (2nd shooter role), and also next to him (lead shooter). I think is goal is to put me in 2nd and 1st shooter spots, with a seasoned veteran as a "backup" right next to me!

Flash - I can also use my Canon 430 in place of the Yongnuo. However, in using the Yongnuo, I can see results almost exact to the 580 EX II.

Thanks
