If you can go to where the wedding will be, go there at the time the wedding will be and take some photos. Ask a friend to come with you so you can photograph a person. Bring a laptop so you can download the photos to see how much noise you will have without flash.
If you already have the D850, why are you judging it by what you read instead of what you know from your photographs?
If you are thinking about getting one, ask here for images taken in situations that might cause grain and decide for yourself. When researching a camera I'm thinking about purchasing, I prefer to get my knowledge from those that own the camera and maybe asking what about the camera they don't like, then averaging the answers. Remember, one person may dislike something and that's their opinion. Many people disliking a feature is something to make note of.
As mentioned previously, magazines tend to be bias.
Nice, and great detail. Could you show the image as it was before processing? Would like to see the two to compare.
I used a D70 with a Quantaray 70-300 and I could photograph people sitting on a huge rock a 1/4 mile away so birds you can see with your eyes shouldn't be a problem with your Tamron. If you're describing the birds being small in the viewfinder, try taking some photos and put them on the computer to see. You should be happy with what the camera can do with that lens.
Check this out, it may be what you're looking for and it's only $29.95 - https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Pass-Through-Charging-Thunderbolt-resolutions/dp/B074Q2WB1K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1516637101&sr=8-1&keywords=thunderbolt+dock
Oh yes, moving Image files between a PC and IMAC is no problem at all. A RAW, TIFF or JPEG file is the same on both. I did a lot of editing at home on a PC, then moved them to an IMAC at work and back to do more at home.

Adobe suggests no less than 8 gb ram. However, Lr works best with 16 gb ram all to itself and a quad or 6 core cpu. Most less costly laptops that advertise 8 gb ram use that ram for applications and graphics, leaving you with 6 gb or slightly more for program execution. The way they make the laptops cheap is to utilize the gpu that is on the main cpu chip. More costly laptops have separate vram and graphics processors.
Your ask is a tall order. A low cost machine that will run Lr well. You will need a large enough hard drive to store your images AND store your progams and operating system - so a computer with only 256 gb SSD is out of the question. It should have at least a quad core cpu, and preferably a separate graphics card. This is not a low cost machine by any stretch.

Most laptops that run a 256GB SSD also have a 1TB hard drive, the SSD is for the OS. As far as more storage space, portable HDs are available at $80-$90 for a 3 TB drive. Having an SSD and 16-32 GBs of RAM would be the way to go and if possible, don't add any programs that aren't necessary as that would probably slow things down a bit.
All nice but in the second, if you had been able to get a bit higher and eliminated the out of focus rock it would have been much cleaner looking. Sometimes it is impossible to move the subject away from center, but if the colorful peak was a bit to either side (and the out of focus rock was gone), the perspective would change a lot.
In the fourth and fifth, had you had been able to take the photos from a lower angle (and get the subject off center in the fourth) they would have been composed even better.
Try to only have three objects in a photo, for example, in the second photo, there are four objects (subjects) in the photo; the sky, the far mountain range, the closer colorful peak and the out of focus rock. In the first, you have three main objects, the waterway, the buildings and ship and the sky, but the ship is right in the center. And. as was already said, try to keep the main object/subject away from the center of the photo. Just a few things to think about :-)
Hi and welcome. Try inserting the San Disk card again and then turn the camera on and press the menu button next to the LCD monitor on the camera. Did a menu open?
As mentioned in a previous post, nothing will show on the screen on the back of the camera unless you press a button on the back of the camera or take a photograph, and even a photograph will only stay there as long as you have set it to in the menu settings.
Thanks, something to try while it's cold here :-)
Phones and tablets have "camera's" (if you can call them camera's ;-) in them and the screens ARE bigger than the camera/processor... and if you think about the size of the sensor in a good DSLR, the viewing screen is usually bigger.
