Hi Brenda I did wedding for girlfriend. Her service was at creek. I did some formal shots before service with the bridal party. But during wedding i just took heaps. Being digital can take far more then usuall film camera. I found the natural shots the best. The ones where they are kissing or just looking. At reception i went to every table and took photos and during speeches. Before wedding i went thru different photography sites and looked at wedding photos to see what i liked for formal photos. Gave me alot of ideas. Helped alot. I dont know about flashlight for your new camera as the service i did was outside. Hope i have been of help Chris
