Anyone has experience in shooting a backlit ceremony? i.e. just all large windows behind and on the left side of the bride/groom in a hotel function room, and the ceiling is only about 9 feet so bounce flash will not be easy.
The ceremony will take place in a sunny afternoon, well, according to weather forecast
I have 2 580EX and a 5D. What can I do to get some well lit pictures and what settings to use?
Shoot up (low angle) or down (high angle), which cuts out flare-y windows, crop tight for the same reason, or use off camera/on camera flashes direct so you have enough flash power against the bright window exposure, avoiding flash back reflections (hide them in subjects' bodies), or get maga-power flashes to bounce off the ceiling so you have a chance of balancing against the bright window exposure, or composite a few in Photoshop, or go with the flare (probably not all that popular with clients), or shoot from the other side of them (from the window back toward the center of the room), or shoot silhouettes, or re-create later where you control the lighting, or any or all combinations of the above.
