Fortunately, the K-5 makes "no flash" doable, but definitely bring

with big apertures. (Not that Walt really needs a reminder given the

photos he's been taking. But if you rent a spare body, definitely get a
K-5.)
Whatever the capabilities of the camera, they are no substitute for
finding out IN ADVANCE whether the venue has any restrictions. If you
can't do anything else, talk to the clergy at the rehearsal & block out
your shots with him/her then & there to make sure it's not going to
cause ill will between what the bride expects & the church allows.
If the restrictions are too onerous, sic the bride's mama on the
preacher.
You don't want to be learning about restrictions and trying to adapt on
the fly while the organist is already playing the processional.
Thanks, John.
I will definitely be sure to discuss that with the bride when I talk to
her today.
The few weddings I've done (a whopping four), I've had free rein to just
do what I wanted to do. Of course, they were all considerably less
formal than this one -- which is why I'm so reluctant to accept it. I'm
really torn about the whole thing.
