I'm an amateur/intermediate photographer that has been asked to photograph a wedding. I'm needing good advice on the best (and affordable) lenses and soft box lighting equipment for a dimly lit ceremony and reception. Something that will create crisp photos with minimal noise.
The wedding will take place at exactly 5:30 pm (when the sun is setting) at an antebellum home. It will be outdoors and the reception is in the dimly lit side home. They will have several flood light shining on the bride and groom, as well as hanging lanterns, but not much else. No over head lights as the home is not wired for them.
I understand this will be a tough job with a lot of preparation. I'm merely asking for lens / lighting suggestions.
My camera is Nikon D3100
