Just don't trip the bride as she comes down the isle! :) Take whatever lenses you have and use the one that fits the situation you are shooting. And whatever you do, "don't use flash!" the padre will probably throw you out. :) But with the M6 you should be able to click away and people wont even know you are shooting. Just follow your common sense of where to go within the church, and as you are motivated, shoot it. The choice of film sounds OK, but you might consider pushing it one stop to 800 if the light is low. If you do "push" don't forget the film will have to go to a pro lab for processing as the 1 hour shops rarely can extend the film processing time. Have a good shoot. :) ted Victoria, Canada http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
