I'm doing a shoot where the girl wants black and white photos and some in color. My assumption up until this point would be to shoot in RAW and then convert some of the color ones to black and white. or should I change teh settings in my camera to black and white? I haven't had good luck desaturating in PS, but is there a good way to change a color photo to B&W in Lightroom?
I'd encourage you to always shoot in color & convert. The camera's B&W is nowhere near as flexible, and doesn't offer anything you can't achieve in post.... but you'll be limited.
Lightroom and Photoshop can both do conversions..... Entire books have been written on the subject. Most are based on some version of using layers or the channel mixer to select the blend of colors that get mixed into the final B&W image....

There are also a bunch of PS plug-ins for B&W conversions that will simulate different film types/speeds, color filters, paper types, development times, etc if you want to give your conversions a film look.

I heard about a couple over here that had planned their ceremony in some botanical gardens, specifically at the time when the flowers were in bloom.
Due to some kind of misunderstanding the guy shot the ceremony on B&W film
