I think I shall mention why I (and and I imagine some of the others)
do not like doing weddings. I do not deal well with innuendos, slurs,
insults, being yelled at, crying brides, angry mothers, nasty relatives,
and the feeling that a riot is just about to erupt.
I have been asked whether I'd be interested in photographing the wedding of
the brother of an acquaintance.
Now, I'm a very keen amateur and have been really into photography for about

Along the lines of what Colin said, have you ever shot a wedding you
were attending, just for fun? My husband and I do that - we bring full
kits with flashes, diffusers, etc. We stay out of the way of the pros,

because I feared the risk. But, with 2 (well known digital) Pentax

I suppose I better chime in here, since I actively do weddings.

the latter, then their expectations should be low and you would
probably be safe to move
