Hi, my mate's fiancee has asked me to take photos at their engagement party, but the conditions are not what I have typically taken photos in before.
The party will take place from around 5pm (just before sunset here), and run late into the night. These are the details, "I have organised for a 6x12 metre marquee to be the 'venue' as per say, which will be lined with silk, fairy lights and lanterns. At the beginning of the night it will mostly be tables and chairs for the oldies, but as the night progresses the jukebox will but turned up and tables put away! We are looking at aprox 80-85 people attending."
I am happy to rent some gear as he's a good mate of mine, so if you guys could help me out as to what gear would be mandatory and what gear would be nice and what techniques I should use.
Currently I have:

  • Nikon D3300
  • 35mm f/1.8
  • 55-200mm f/4-5.6
  • Speedlight SB-700

Thanks for the help guys, I'd really like to make the most of this for them
