11 years ago my husband bought me a Canon 1000EOS camera, with which I have clocked up a fair few pictures over the years. I have never learned anything about photography, but am rather happy-snappy, and due to the sheer volume of pictures I take, I have managede to get a few good shots in the box.
I am an absolute amateur, but my family seem to think I know a thing or two about photography, and now my brother has asked me to photograph his wedding! PANIC! ;o))
The wedding ceremony will be held outdoors, and I am worried that all the pictures will be of people squinting against the sun. Does anyone have any good tips as to how to best catch a decent picture of people in strong sun-light? Where do you position them? Side to the sun?
Do you happen to know a website that may give me some guidelines for wedding photography? Do you know a "teach-yourself-wedding-photography-in-a-week" book?

Decline somehow. The only time I have done a friends wedding was a poor couple who really didn't have the money to hire anyone. Basically, I gave them the photos and a firend who runs a pro lab did the processing for free as wedding gift to the couple. It worked, sort of.. but I did not get to enjoy the wedding, and made a few errors which caused many a late night in Photoshop. Ultimately they were happy, but it was not an experience I would go through again.
Strong sunlight? as a general hint, back to the sun, and use a fill flash system. Try it out before you have to redo on wedding day :). Watch the ambient color being reflected from green foliage or buildins... people don't look so good under these lights.
