I no longer do weddings, at least not as the primary photographer, this is after: 1. Had the misfortune of a borrowed Pentax 645 (that I've used a number of times before) acting up on me which caused the flash to loose sync with the shutter so all the shots came out underexposed, I had my EOS gear with me on this trip for a friend but accidentally left them at the brides house that morning, and no one had the time to go get them for me......, needless to say the friendship was effectively lost for good 2. Realizing I just don't have the artistic eyes that some of the wedding pros have, there is a huge difference between taking a few snaps with fancy set of equipment vs. taking truly artistic photographs at a memorable and emotional wedding occasion Good luck Marco if you do decide to go through with this request from your friends.
