That's very good advice. I always try to scope out the location I'll be shooting in before D-day.

Thanks for the advice, however, it is a small private ceremony so there'll be no rehearsal. The community hall is far away at an hour drive, two hours return trip for my house. Not that I don't want to do a good job but I just have to operate on the premise of site unseen this time.

I was going to shoot a wedding under similar circumstances where I didn't have access to the chapel before the ceremony. However, I was able to "borrow" a local church for about an hour while no one was there (very nice preacher) and was able to practice shooting under [what I thought might be] similar circumstances. It wasn't exact, but it gave me a better idea of the obstacles I'd have to overcome.
