I am preparing to shoot my first wedding. I have 2 B800 units, one smaller shoot through umbrella and a large octagon softbox. What am I going to need to adequately light a larger wedding party?

I might start with a couple of 60 in reflective umbrellas. A couple of white 64 PLMs might work well, if they are not on backorder. But I am sure there are lots of options, and you'll be seeing other suggestions soon enough :-)

A fairly large group can be adequately lit with a single 60" umbrella on a tall lightstand, so I would avoid multiple umbrella's if possible due to the complexity and additional setup time.

Here is an example of using PLM's to light decently sized groups :)

I started working in my photoshop and I am enjoying wedding parties’ shoots. Their suggestions that you could use 60 or more reflective umbrellas will light up a larger wedding party would be better. You would definitely enjoy it, have fun!
