My father subscribed to to American Heritage from the first issue. One issue that I particularly remember was which had photos of all the great Indian chiefs, including Sitting Bull...none of whom, apparently, had any problem having their photo taken.

Good to know. Seems the story about graven images got changed as it was passed down from generation to generation in my family too.

Living in Montana has provided the opportunity to attend many Pow Wows. The dancing, singing, drumming and regalia are wonderful. Ask for permission to take photos. The answer is almost always, yes.

Have a good time. I'm sure you'll put together a list of group photos to take. You know how to shoot and you've got good equipment....so have fun and get a lot of good photos. Remember, too, after the wedding, that you'll be recording a history of the wedding party and the people that are there.

I am CERTAINLY NOT a wedding photographer; not even a good indoor photographer, but one thing I would suggest...NO FLASH! That could be upsetting to the participants in the ceremony. Keep your ISO down to avoid noise in the images. Try to use a 50mm 1.8 or something that will allow a lot of light in like an 85mm f/2.8. Try not to get "into their faces" during the ceremony.
Try to HAVE FUN & enjoy the occasion.
...and show us some of your images. :thumbup:

A wedding photographer without a flash...nahhh.

Well... I did it. Origionally it was going to be just a celebration and learning time but it turned out. I went a little bit more than I intended. It was a very interesting time. You should all attend something like that if you get the chance!
Because I only wanted to do a limited amount of photos so I didn't bring my extra lenses. My go to lens, (70-200mm f:2.8), worked great until it started to rain and we all went for cover. It's hard to use a tele lens in close quarters so I took a couple dozen with my cell phone. (I can hear it now... "A cell phone? For Shame!")
Here are the photos I put up on Facebook. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.909190455814044.1073741855.142634195803011&type=3
