Do you shoot everything in manual? Or just your formals? Also, how often are you using a flash and is it off camera or on? Just interested

AV, TV & M. Depending on the situation. (sometimes P)

M and AV. OCF when needed. I'd love to learn OCF in the future but right now it's not something I can do at most of my weddings anyway.

See the similar threads bottom of the page.

I'd say 80% M 20% Av.

I used to be M all day back when that was the only mode my camera came with. Now I make use of AV as much as possible, switching to M mostly only for flash.

M all day.

Mostly on camera, bounced, sometimes mix in OCF if the room isn't well-suited to reliable bouncing.

Been shooting manual for quite a while. Even surprised myself. Aperture mode is too inaccurate.
