Even if your light is great, it's probably good to leave IS on just because later on you may forget to turn it back on. The benefit to turning it off is saving battery life, it's true, but if you've got >= 2 batteries and can swap/charge, it really won't make a difference.

While I've never had this issue during weddings, when I shoot the odd baseball game here and there for some folks I know, if I am getting fast shutter speeds, like > 1/1000, then I tend to turn IS off because it may interfere with tracking subjects in AI Servo. Or at least put in in mode 2.

But again, for weddings, I always have IS on.
