When your reputation's is on the line, I don't see how you can leave
things to the cameras choice. It is not like spec work where you don't
even have to admit a dud exists. Auto cameras are right 90% of the time.
It is the other 10% that worries me. And you do not know which 10% that
it is you have to worry about. Better to do it yourself then at least if
you screw up it is you who screwed up.

I don't know any wedding photogs who use AF at all. Even the guy with
the 1D-II works strictly manual focus.
For candid shots around the party? I find that difficult to believe.
Yep, even for those.
Manual exposure too. Well, the camera is set to manual exposure and
the flash is on E-TTL (for Canon, y'know) automatic, with appropriate
compensation. He sets the aperture he wants and the lowest reasonable
hand-holdable shutter speed and lets the flash fill in the difference.
After working two jobs with him I came to the conclusion that he had
the right way of doing things. Worked well with my ist-D and P-TTL
flash.
