Personally I would have a flash on the hotshoe and bounce it off the ceiling, assuming it's not too high a ceiling, Amita. Direct flash can be very harsh, but sometimes may be more suitable than bounced (dark painted ceilings etc). Ideally a flash on a stand and a brolly or two, but in the real world this may not be possible. Avoid the pop-up flash if you can. You'll be PSing out their redeyes forever.
