Equipment

I dont know any wedding photographers that are not digital now. the quality argument has long since been lost and times move on. Film was a great medium but the risks associated were huge. Digital does cause problems though - every man and his dog thinks they can take photographs. Digital cameras, even very good ones, are affordable. Many people at weddings carry more equipment than the official photographer, but STOP - most, if not all of them cannot take a good photo. Equipment doesn't improve the photograph, the photographers skills do that. I use two cameras at a wedding. The first is set up with a good general purpose lense as I will use this camera for 90% of the work. The other is set with a 300mm lense for longer work so the subject will not even be aware they are being photographed. I shoot short with TTL flash at all times to reduce shadows and long without relying on natural light. I carry a tripod for church shoots and lots of spare batteries. What more can a man need.
