Lighting for weddings/indoors


I shoot digitally mostly on-location using only my SB-800 Speedlight Flash. However, I am getting more requests for weddings & indoor shoots so I am considering purchasing a lighting set. I have no idea what to look for & what I would need (especially for portraits inside of dark churches). A system I have my eye on has 3 strobe lights (two 150w/s lights, GN 135 feet at ASA 100). Would this be sufficient for my needs & are there any tips you can give me on finding the best lighting equiptment without going overboard?

  I would like to know hte answer to this as well. I am looking at the Steve Kaeser's (from E-bay, thanks to Deby's recommendation) 2550 wt "cool light" w/boom.

Do I really need all this "stuff", and if I don't, will someone recommend me to another "kit"? Thanks!

  Cynthia,
Steve has many different out fits-maybe a call to him or myself may be of some help to you- also Laura from the Studio Photography thread - just recieved a set from him-you may want to contact her-she posted on a similer thread just the other day.
but the size of kit depends on what you intend to do with it.
Please let me know maybe I can be of more help.
Megan,
again it depends on what you want to do with the lights.
Weddings : I do set up portable studios but most often, they are used only for some posed shots and family sittings there on site -
I also use my SB 800 and a Q flash
these allow me to move about and get the same even lighting on the candids as well.
I do hope this helps,
Debby
