I did the correction in the above link in 5 minutes on a tablet with a simple app. The color is within a normal range- it can be slightly warmer or cooler as per your taste.

With mixed lighting and underexposure, plus uneven background illumination, you are not going to get what used to be called "reproduction quality" color accuracy. There are lots of post-processing actions that are extremely time-consuming and require precise techniques in multiple layered operations. With the coverage of a ceremony, this would require hours of work.

Using the techniques I used in many decades of analog custom color printing, I was able to reasonably correct the color, dodge, burn, and even correct for foreshortening.

Again, you can tweak the color all day long- it's hard to tell the exact colors without seeing he actual scene, however, images like this usually are more appealing slightly on the warm side- not deep orange!. Traditional and older churches usually have warmer lighting, candlelight, and natural light filtered through stained glass windows- perfectly natural.

I have worked in many hundreds of churches- the average color empire in theses interiors is around 2000K. degrees- that is way below the preset for 3200K tungsten lamps. Electronic flash weighs in somewhere around 5 0r 6,000K. So... you need to balance for one or the other or you will have lots of selective filtering in post-processing. You can use flash to illuminate the subject, drag the shutter, and allow the background to go where it will.

Folks speak ill of flash usage because they are not applying flash properly. If you do lots of this kinda work, bone up on flash techniques such as bounce, multiple flashes, filter flash to match the ambient light and learn the basics of the angle of incidents theory and the inverse square law. If you master these techniques you will spend less time "re-shooting" your work on the computer.

A lot of churches do not permit the use of flash.

Some do and some don't. Oftentimes certain segments of a ceremony are flash-prohibited. Anyway, nowadays with the advantages of digital cameras- high IOS settings with minimal noise, infinite white balance adjustment, and accurate spot metering, a savvy shooter shod experience little or no difficulty.

When I cover weddings, I arrive early, speak to the clergy or coordinator, and seek permission if flash is required. If not- I can still work effectively with available light.

Hello ,

I did a google search and the issue is a known problem with the Nikon D7200.
They have an adjustment you can make to the setting on your camera .
Here is the web site I found the information https://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/nikon-d7200/nikon-d7200A5.HTM

it seems like it is an easy enough setting change. The camera needs a positive exposure compensation and the article explains it in easy terms.

Hope this answers your question to your dilemma .

Lots of tungsten light most likely

There's already a white card in the picture. It just happens to be Catholic 🙏 And it works too. Just use the lower edge of the robe for white 😆

Just shoot raw and adjust as required in your app

I downloaded your image and played a bit with ACR. Hope you don't mind. Cooling the temp was the main thing.

My first impression is your not compensating your white balance for the Tungsten lights which give you the orange cast. In much the same way fluorescent lights will give you a blue cast.
Learn custom white balance in camera.

Correcting for WB in the background will affect the foreground WB since it is two different types of light. One solution is to mask in PS. Another is to not use a flash and expose and correct for ambient light.

I have shot in way too many churches over the years , lots of brown woods, candles, brown pews , streams of light thru the windows, stained glass windows giving off color.... Its best to take a few practice shots with different WB to see what works best.

Without going through the posts I will tell you your white balance was not set correctly to adjust for tungsten filament lighting witch is quite yellow. If you were shooting under fluorescent the shift would be blue.
Not sure what camera your using but if it's a DSLR or mirrorless there are custom white balance settings that would be well worth learning. You can also adjust your kelvin setting in camera to adjust for the yellow light. The kelvin for tungsten sits at around 3200 so if you adjusted kelvin in camera to around 4800 to 5200 you should be able to cancel that yellow out and bring a more natural light in.

Don't use Auto White Balance, set the White Balance to the type of lights that are illuminating the image, if not satisfied then use the K setting and find the temperature that fixes your problem.
