I’m shooting a wedding outside and the weather conditions are likely going to change every five minutes. My plan is to shoot RAW files with my white balance set to daylight using fill flash.

My only concern is how my images will look if it’s overcast and subjects close to the camera are lit with flash but people further away will have a cooler colour-cast to them.

Should I even worry about this?

I guess if the light is too mixed and looks odd, I can always make the final image black and white.

I will also shooting a wedding soon with probably the same weather conditions if its overcast Hurray as shadows will be diffused and you could use the flash to pop the subjects out, Remember the only people of interest is the Bride then the Groom,Ok then maybe the immediate family,
I know its the last thing you want to do but you could selectively brighten up the darker subjects in Post,

Remember walls even outside reflect light of some kind.

i have faith in you.
