I took some pics at a wedding reception and my external flash died. So i was forced to use the flash on the camera. Of course the pictures turned out orange (ish) and grainy.
Is there anything I can do to fix these? Uggghhh

Great question! I had something like that happen to me at my granddaughters' birthday party & am anxiously awaiting an answer to your question.

First of all, those pictures had to be very dark and underexposed. Because you didn't try to process them in your own computer, you sent them to a lab who couldn't who couldn't properly color corect them. Or, you shot roll film. In that case there isn't too much you can do to salvage them.
I said goodby to roll film way back when digital came out and never looked back. Remember I've messed with film since 1942 and you wouldn't believe the expense it was to process.

Sorry to hear about your problem concerning your flash. This makes having a backup for camera, battery and flash a valid issue. I know it's too late for that wedding shot but something you should consider in the future.

Forgot to finish my post. You asked if you can do anything to help them. Try to adjust colors, exposures and levels in your software. Assuming they are digital, you should be able to improve them some.

If you were shooting roll film, you can try scanning them to digital on your computer then try color correction. I have had considerable good luck scanning many of my old photos and doing this.

If in the digital world, play with the white balance and see what you can do with the colors.
If film, scan in the negatives and see if you can play with white balance with the digital copy. Certain camera stores have scanning capabilities where someone can adjust color for you and do a reasonable job if you tell them that you know the color is off.
Sometimes they work miracles.
