Angie, you need to k now more about your camera, and maybe ponder a switch to a more reliable model. Wedding photography is a high-liability practice. How much do you shoot with that camera in between jobs ? COuld you have switched to other modes and continued working ? Maybe get to know your camera better, and learn to use it on manual, in case you have to. In any case, you were prepared for a failure, and that foresight saved you from a disaster. You delivered, in spite of your problem, and this is a perfect illustration of why back-ups are an absolute necessity. -- Luis
