Thank you for the comments. I really appreciated your steps there James. Very clear and easy to understand. I think I will print that out to use as a guide in the future as well! With that list, I have more confidence to be orderly and have a schedule laid out in place before the actual event.
I was very pleased my new 50mm lens arrived today and I had a little window of time to try it out before the sun went down. I am already amazed with it already! The images I got in just that short time are just beautiful! I am looking forward to seeing how this photo shots all plays out and comes together. Thanks again!
