But what about the parents. You of course will photograph them.

Sometimes I use the Omnibounce outdoors when I want softer light to fill in
the shadows. You might try adding a small piece aluminum foil in the rear
inside of the omnibounce cap to give you more forward light. See if you like
that effect. The more important thing of course is film selection. A higher
contrasting film will work better with the omnibounce while a softer film
works better with direct flash.
Best of luck with your wedding photography.
