Yes
I've been asked to take some snaps of a couple I know for their wedding invites. Thing is, it's got to be today as I'm going back to uni tomorrow and the weather is awful so it's going to be indoors.

I have no studio space so I'm going to have to improvise. My kit consists of:

Canon 350D
Nifty Fifty
Tokina 12-24
Sigma Super DG 500 Flash Gun

...It's probably going to take place in their house so space is available but quite limited. I'm pretty sure I can gain access to some plain white sheets as a back drop.


Any ideas guys? :}
 
In the past I've draped a duvet in a white cover over the backs and seats of a couple of chairs to bounce light back and up at a model. I used a duvet as its weight pulled it tauter than a sheet alone.
 
What sort of people are they ?
With a 12-24, you could go for a wide angle shot of them in their favourite shoes, with the shoes as the focal point, and tapering away to their heads way out of focus, as a kind of whacky shot, or 2 engagement rings close-up and them again, maybe just heads, out of focus in the distance - both slightly unusual, but with a flash to light them, reflected off a white wall or whatever, all possible inside...
Failing that, how about something corny - 2 hands, or maybe even just a simple 2 heads, with the 50mm, and again, flash bounced to give a soft-ish light...

Good luck with it !
 
I did some last year, they were printed on invitation cards and place settings for the reception.
I just shot some simple floral on white, that matched the flower arrangement colour scheme of both the wedding and the reception table dressings.
You need to think a little about orientation, the shape of the cards, square, portrait or landscape.
heres a couple out of 10

Well I tried various formal/informal shots and came up with this.. It was the very last shot of the evening and they really liked it. Any feedback would be ace. thanks guys.

I really like the photo.. it shows them relaxed and very much "in love". Perfect for what you set out to achieve.
