What he said...


Weddings aren't impossible, but they put strain on equipment and technique that causes a lot of bad pictures for first time photographers. There are simply no do-overs on the bride in the aisle, the first kiss,etc. I shoota wedding every few weeksat the peak of the season and I've been shooting weddings since 1981. I still have moments of total cold sweat panic.


And, it's not all about skill. I have 6 Canon bodies,4-6 batteries per body, two dozen CF cards, flashes, rechargeable flash batteries, and two dozen lens choices. You don't know what will break, what lighting you'll encounteror even if it's going to rain on the outdoor reception (1DMKII; weather sealed!).


This is the one type of photography where professionals make a pretty big difference in the outcome.
