Shawn:

My recommendation for Kodak film would be the PPF.  Fuji would be the NPH
(or even the NHK).  The ISO 400 speed of these films is great for both the
indoor and outdoor shots.  For faster film I use the Fuji 800.  (Super-G?).

The newest Realla is much better with skin tones than the older emulsion,
and faster too (ISO 160).  But why mess around, just go ahead and shoot the
"wedding" emulsions listed above.

I have a bridal portrait shot done with both PPF in 6x7 and NPH in 35mm that
you cannot identify which is which at 5x7.  At 8x10, the grain is slightly
visible.  The PPF and NPH are almost perfectly matched in color and
contrast.

I prefer the Fuji over the Kodak because it is $2 a roll cheaper here.

I do not recommend switching films mid wedding unless you are staying within
the same film "family."
