Your first sentence is what I tell my one-evening wedding class. I also tell them they could be "crazy" to want to do weddings. If they decide they want to be wedding photographers, I tell them to be patient because the wedding day can be chaotic. I shoot film, not digital. I use a Pentax 645 and a Pentax PZ1p. Also bring along my trusty Leica M2's. Strobe light is a Sunpak.
