I attended a beautiful wedding last weekend. As you probably recognize, most people do not know how to use a microphone and the sound engineers do not teach the bride groom, officiators or other speakers how to speak into the mic, or adjust the sound so people can hear the ceremony. Being an auctioneer, I know how, but most people do not.
To make matters worse, there was a photographer standing behind me (and many others, continuously clicking away with a DSLR. The sound of the shutter was very distracting and annoying.
Having both mirrorless and DSLR cameras I know how silent the mirrorless can be and a much better choice for weddings and other events that require quiet photography. If you are a professional photographer and are hired to do these events, please use mirrorless cameras. People around you will be much happier.
You can also differentiate yourselves when selling your services by letting your prospective clients know that you are using state of the art quiet cameras that will not detract from the ceremony.
