A couple at a wedding reception in San Juan Capistrano, CA.
Made with a Canon flash bounced off the ceiling, a Canon 5d and a 50mm lens.
There are many ways with which to use your dedicated TTL flash unit (I use the Canon 580 EXII) but my first choice is to use that flash bounced and especially bounced on a wall behind me to create a large source of illumination that is soft and flattering.
Ceiling bounce works well too, though you have to watch your placement to your subject to get the optimum quality of light.
