Wedding Photography: Pictures Vs. Battery I will be shooting my first wedding and wondering how long or how many pictures I can take before the battery goes dead on the Canon Digital Rebel? It says about 400 with 50 percent flash. I will be checking the LCD screen quite a bit since this is my first wedding. I must make sure the shots are perfectly focused. I have two Canon batteries. is this going to be enough to get me through the wedding?

Hi Kristi, I just shot my first wedding last week. I used the Digital Rebel also. Bring both batteries and your charger. When you change your batteries, keep it on your charger while you use the next battery. I didn't have to use the flash much because it was an outdoor event but I did have to change the battery after a while (about 300 pics) As far as focusing, trust the autofocus, just be sure its focused on what your shooting. Take several shots of the same so as to avoid blinking, etc. Take extra flash cards making sure you have lots of memory. And above all relax and have fun. If you're at ease, it will help those posing for you. Good luck.

I too just shot my first wedding. I found that there really wasnt time to check the LCD too much. Rather, I just trusted my auto focus and took tons of pictures. You don't want to miss a special moment while your staring at your LCD. I did some test shots before the ceremony and I didn't really feel comfortable moving around too much; I felt it was distracting. I was able to get about 400 shots before switching batteries.
