  Brianna,
A wedding is a big undertaking for any photographer. I'm assuming you haven't done this before by your question.

Wedding photographers like the Kodak Portra line in 160 and 400 speeds for color prints. Portra also comes in ISO400 B&W C-41 film. IN the FUji corner, there are comparable color print films and Neopan 1,600 for b&w, which is pretty grainy, but a lot of people like that look. There are really too many variables involved that you have not included here. In general, you'll need fast film and a flash that you can attach OFF camera on a bracket and probably a diffuser of some sort.

See Doug Nelson's web site for info on shooting weddings. He talks about favorite films and more.
