Most wedding photos are relatively small and 6Mp will be ample. They also tend not to have any shots at infinity which is something my 3Mp camera is less happy about - the closer you get to the subject the nearer the quality gets to 35mm. This effect I think is due to digital quality degrading

Formal wedding shots (in your studio or posed shots at the alter) have to be done with medium format film because the customer will frequently want an 11x14 enlargement or bigger. Candid shots at the reception can be done with 35mm film because the largest print requested is likely to be 8x10
