A few comments - > 1. My autofocus is WAY too slow. FYI, I shot with 2 K10D's, a sigma > 70-200mm 2.8, 24-70mm 2.8, and the Pentax 12-24 lens. Did you try pre-focusing? Like when they are walking down the aisle, just pre-focus to the 2nd or 3rd pew row back and shoot when they hit that point. That won't help with candids and more spontaneous shots, though. > > 2. ell, I don't know what happened from one day to the next, but all > of my photos in the sanctuary came out with the worst reddish yellow hue. > Example here: > > http://exposedfilm.net/wwsmith/yellow.jpg You obviously fixed that problem in the final images - is the lighting consistent? A lot of large builing have a mix of light sources with makes it almost impossible to get consistent color balance, though I'd expect that the part of the church on TV would be consistent.

A 'real' wedding photographer would never use the words "bride" and "big white mass" in the same paragraph... :-) > 5. My flash recycle time was unbearable.
