Need settings for nephews wedding pics with Canon 5Dmk3

These were the two types of snapshots I was talking about from the beginning.
There were 5 photographers there. All were shooting Canon except one Nikon. I found keeping it simple worked the best. I shot in landscape with flash on camera bounced with a 4 x 5 white card velcro to flash head. I started with bracket and flash modifier and I quickly removed those. The large flash bender was cumbersome.

The shots look fine.

Although the one with the door behind should be better done with a softbox ... or I suppose ... if the distance between the people and door were at least doubled if possible.

I don't particularly like cumbersome softboxes. Have two of them, but don't use them much. Maybe I should, but I'm aiming for more lightweight alternatives.

There wasn't much room to get further back.
Settings were 1/200 f/5.6 ETTL with +1/3 to +2/3 FEC ISO 1600
Here is pic showing where the back wall was

The front light was probably most flattering for the older woman / women anyway.

Hope you're having fun with this. I'm planning to start wedding photography with small weddings and see where it goes. I wasn't going to at first, but our children's wedding shots came out pretty good. So I figured its time to jump in.

If you want more ambient, crank up your ISO.

You're kidding, right?

No.

If you want more ambient light with flash, slow your shutter speed down. The flash exposure will be unaffected by the shutter speed.
