schon said:get someone to do it, and you be backup.
and when I say backup, I do not mean backup as in when the first guy fails, but when you'll be able to provide goot shots that the main guy did not manage to catch.
that way, the goods are assured and whatever that you have that is good is a bonus.
It is not necessary to shoot the WHOLD day wedding, not a lot of couples will not be able to affort or willing to pay the photographer to provide WHOLE day coverage.sORe-EyEz said:orh, no la, i not d 1 shooting. pointing out wad i tot was a practical q, if he's shooting d whole day.

If u're so wonderful as to throw in a outdoor shoot as well for that ang pow, prepare to rent a 85mm, 135mm portrait lens (if u're a prime guy) or a 70-200mm lens to cover it all in 1 go.
Money can't buy friendship, but it will show the true 'face' of another.
DT_ said:none of above! get a mid range (d70, 20d, 350)... the pic quality is much better then enough shooting at hi-res fine jpeg.. also the built-in flash serves as a backup.. and the concern is to get your hands on a good flash as your need consistent lighting throughtout the event.. imo sb800 or 580ex (try to use bounce card, omibounce might give u a little hard time).. it's also ur challenge to maintain correct exposure throughout the event.. it's goes indoor, outdoor, indoor, nite... etc.. for the 3 models i stated above.. just use kits lens will be good in term of range.. and at very very min 2 gb memory and lotsa batts.. gd luck!

:dunno:
paid or not paid, friendship is on the line. but as I once read a post from a wedding photographer, many couple do not care that much or do not know anything about quality photo. So, maybe, risk is there, but not that high.catchlights said:Do you guys think is a good idea for him to get a DSLR which he never use before, to go and shoot a wedding?
