Lens for a wedding shoot

edited January 2014 Posted in » Nikon D3100 Forum
My husband just bought me a D3100. I'm not a professional in any shape or form and I feel like this camera is way too advanced for me. :(
I have shot a few weddings on my Kodak and they came out beautiful. I'm lost as to which lens I should use when I shoot this wedding. My hubby has been playing with all the settings; should I rest it all back to factory? Any help would be much appreciated because the wedding is in one week. Thank you.

    Reset back to factory mode, then set to Aperture Priority. What sort of light are you expecting; outside in the sun, cloudy, inside with incandescent? Set white balance to suit conditions.
    I assume you are not being paid to take the bride's photos, just your own.
    Your 18-55mm will work, good for close ups or distance shots.
    Don't upset the official photographer with flash as it may set his remote flash off and they are always in a rush and don't like the guests taking photos.
    If you are invited to the festivities afterwards, take a few non-posed shots of the couple and the guests or pre-wedding photos as they are getting ready.
