ah... looks like it's time to buy another book for some reading. now is that book a light reading or deep?

Ain't 'light', ain't 'deep', just plain 'very insightful' and 'thought provoking' as the book reviewers would put it. It is likely to be found at your public library, so you do not have to buy it.

In a wedding you don't have much time for a light meter except for the portraits. I like to shoo manual for those but when on the move use AV and chimp! Always shoot RAW and if you need to adjust brightness and contrast you should have no troubles at PP.

I'd agree that spot metering is more likely to get you into trouble than simply understanding your cameras matrix metering systems and using those.

An incident light meter is more reliable than any kind of reflected meter.
