The auto modes work very well for me and I get good coverage even with a 100 speed film, although I would recommend a 400 speed film for a wedding. With a 250th flash synch you will still be able to use fill flash outdoors. As with all high contrast situations, bride in very light and groom in very dark, use a portrait film such as Portra or NHG, downrate one full grade in ISO, and practice such tricks as underexposing ambient two stops while keeping the flash exposure normal. This will really make the bride pop from the background.

Hi all- I'm going to take fotos at a family wedding in Oct at Lake Tahoe Calif outdoors and in a restaurant setting. Any recommendations for a flash outfit? I've have a SunPak Auto321 compact flash, a National PE-387S (28-85mm zoom selections), and a Metz 45Ct-1. Usually I use the SunPak, but I have noticed that it doesn't throw the light far enough in larger settings. The National I haven't used at all, and the Metz I've only tried once or twice- a long time ago. I'm thinking of trying the National and Metz out with a roll of film just for practice.
