spphoto Senior Member  387 posts Joined Jan 2007 Location: Vancouver Island, BC More info | Oct 23, 2007 14:50 | #10 I usually shoot M for getting ready (as it's generally indoors with consistent light with or without flash). Ceremony it depends on where it is, if it's outside and the light it changing I'll shoot Av or P. Formals I usually shoot M with flash and then reception gets to be a gong show of modes depending on the light conditions and stuff... ~ Stefanie Pletscher

These are me too. I've heard a lot of people say they use the P mode and it's why I started the thread. I'm interested in when and why they use it.
