tbh i was in the same boat and really didn't want to shell out 80 bucks per battery. I've been super satisfied with the SmallRig LP-E6P 2400mAh Li-ion Battery so far. It actually unlocks the high-speed modes without those annoying warnings. No complaints here, it works well and handles the power draw fine. You're gonna be totally fine with those for your Seattle wedding!

Building on the earlier suggestion, id probably just stick to the originals for big gigs... safety first.
- Canon LP-E6P Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery
- guaranteed firmware compatibility
- prevents potential overheating
