[QUOTE="peterbj7, post: 1453735, member: 201846"] There are quite a few cheap flash triggers that would work for this, including the cheapest of the lot which is an optically activated switch that is triggered by the light from another flash. I would certainly try to bounce both flashes, ideally from a white ceiling, but if that doesn't exist you might try a portable reflector on each flash. You would also probably get more even illumination if you use umbrellas or similar. You'll need to set camera and flashes to manual, which will complicate things for you if you're not used to doing that. This is one of the hardest lighting jobs there is and you'll need to practice beforehand - days beforehand, not just a few minutes before the live shot. I suggest you look at a specialist photographic site where you'll find lots more pertinent information. The best I know is [url=http://photography-on-the.net/forum/]Canon Digital Photography Forums - Powered by vBulletin[/url] which is mainly Canon based (there are a few Nikon threads) but that makes no difference for you, as what you want to do is quite generic.
