The Hurricane Matthew may not be as bad as suspected. Damage is recorded as moderate thus far for a hurricane. And no extension of lives lost. Flooding, rain, and loss of power will be the most agonizing. Source: CNN news.

Some wedding photographers have a 3 plan deal. Super Deluxe, Deluxe, and Regular. Each priced differently. People who get married sometimes are on a budget too. A professional wedding photographer is the way to do it. Rather than let amateurs like myself do it. I did it once. Never again. The photos I took were decent, and I did it as a wedding gift for a friend. Better to buy the gift.

Here's mine, and I think that it checks most boxes. Sony A57 16MP, Sony 18-135 SAM, Sony 70-300 APO G. I also have a Minolta 50mm Macro which I mainly use to copy old slides and is seldom used.
Here would be my best minimal list. A Nikon a3300, 24 megapixels, an 18-300mm zoom lens, and a 35mm or 50mm prime lens. Cheap is not always a bad choice. It's how you use your equipment. But a D3300 is not a D7200 either.

The a57 is no longer produced, superseded by the a58 and a68. The rest is medium range gear. Now if you said an a77ii, with a 24-70mm Sony lens, a Sony 70-200mm lens, then I would be impressed.

Yep. You just can't go wrong owning a quality 24-70mm Nikon lens. Nothing but praise for that lens. The Canon 24-70mm is excellent too. I've been wishing for a Nikon 24-70mm for several months. Price is out of my budget. I'm looking at the Tamron version for about $1300 from B&H. Less expensive than the Nikon. Pro Photographer Matt Granger says the Nikon 24-70mm is untouchable for sharpness. I've read good reviews too on the Tokina 24-70mm. It may be in your $1000 budget range?

Those are two very popular lenses. One Tamron and the other a Canon Brand. I borrowed a Tamron 90mm prime macro for one day. It was very good. Since you own already a very good Canon camera, T6i, I would prefer to have the 18-135mm with the Canon body for macro. Your best option for macro is a prime lens with a 1:1 magnification between 90mm-180mm. IMO. Good luck on your choice.

Welcome to the forum, and congrats to 56 years of marriage. My uncle celebrated his 55th anniversary last month.

I'm glad your camera survived. Most don't. Most are damaged needing expensive repairs. Like full frame cameras on this forum. $$$$.

Sony wants to keep rolling out new cameras. Here is an article I saw on 10-6-16. www.thenewcamera.com

Another careless accident. Funny that you never hear about accidents from photographers who own a Nikon D3300 and a cheap 18-55mm lens on this forum?

I give credit to Governor Scott of Florida to alert the citizens of this upcoming hurricane. He has put the National Guard on Alert. Having been in a hurricane myself, it is not fun. Saving lives is priority #1. Electrical power deprivation can be tolerated for a week or more. As I experienced.
