Oddjobber, I toast my Double X to you!

Senormule,welcome to the Hogs!

Careful, I have a photographer friend that lives in Florence. He'll come over and clean your sensor!

You talking to me!?

Is it just these new-fangled Nikons or is it there in my D700? I'm afraid to listen!

You guys are killing me!

Thanks again everyone! I have alot to think about!

Thanks for the advice. I did one wedding for friends years ago during the film era. Things have changed to say the least. I have alot to think about.

Thanks to everyone for the invaluable advice! You people are the best!

Thanks Gene51. Always concise and well stated!

Thanks for creating this forum. I want to get started in this business. Well, let's say thinking about it. I have an opportunity to do a distant cousin's wedding. Their budget is tight and it's a small wedding, so they will be able to afford me and it will be a good job to "cut my teeth on". It's not untill June, so hopefully I will have time aquire the equipment I need. Currently I have a Nikon D700 with Nikkor 50 f1/8G and a 28 to 300 zoom. From the other posters it looks like I'll need 2 flashes and another body. Probably an either 70 or 80 to 200 f/2.8. Anything else? Thanks

Thanks for all the good advice. I will check out the wedding forum.

Hey fellow hoggers! Thinking about getting into doing weddings. I know, I know, I can feel the cringes from here! I did one for a friend years ago during the film era. Came out pretty good. They were happy. I have a Nikon D700. Nikkor 50mm f1/8G and a 28mm to 300 zoom. I know I need a flash and a 70 or 80 to 200 f2/8. What else do I have to have to do the job right. Thanks.

I agree with the 50mm 1.8G. Great lens. I bought one from B&H for $216

Point well taken. It was a hastily composed shot. I could have done better. I appreciate your honesty.
