Wedding Light - White Balance Workflow

Just curious how folks handle white balance on at a wedding where light is changing all the time. I have seen the Expo Disc and the X-Rite Color Checker but using these means you are always pulling these things out when the light changes.

1. The Expo disc needs to be attached and a custom white balance stored in camera each time the light changes - time consuming

2. The X-rite someone needs someone to hold while you take a shot for post - time consuming

3. Set AWB and be done with it and mess with white balance in post - again lots of work after the fact

4. Set the White Balance to sunny, cloudy etc as you move about as the light changes - still some work after the fact


Thoughts on the best white balance workflow for weddings?

Why is the light changing?

Why is the light changing?

Just a few very real reasons which Color Balance changes...

• DJ flashing random lights
  
• sun setting at an outside wedding (as hinted at in the OP)
  

Light changes from bright sun to shade to partial clouds to sudden overcast so it appears that it all needs to be done in post with AWB set for the entire wedding is what I am reading and that these tools mentioned are not worth it in a wedding situation?

For daylight I would shoot AWB and raw (always) then tweak certain shots that get out of sync with others shot at that time of day. AWB should get great results for the vast majority of the shots.

A grey card can help with rooms that might have mixed lighting, or events that are held in multiple rooms with different lighting. Even then, if you are bouncing from room to room just shoot and set the WB using the grey card reference in post with a batch process or copy/paste of settings.

For indoor and incandescent lighting and gelled to balance flash and ambient. I just used AWB and fine tuned later in post.
