Default Why a beginner shouldn't shoot a wedding thread

First off, let me apologize to whomever the last person was to post in the other thread. Today was my Monday and I wasn't in the mood for the shit so I deleted the thread since I deleted the thread.

My purpose for the previous thread was to find out which lens may work better for a wedding. Some had posted that lighting was more important, which was definitely helpful and more or less common sense to an able photographer. However I wasn't in the mood this morning to hear for the 100th time that it would be much better for the bride to have seasoned and skilled (agreeably much more so than myself) photographer shoot her wedding and this was a bad idea for me to shot it.

I didn't post to ask if this was okay for me to shoot her wedding. The bride said she would be happy with snapshots left of each table with disposables in lieu of paying a photographer since in her last wedding she had a photographer and did nothing with the pictures through the rest of her previous marriage unless her mother asked her to show a photo which was a rarity. Knowing this, and the bride confirming that she knew my lack of skills and equipment is the only reason I agreed to do it in the first place.


Michael stepped up and made an awesome offer which I urged the bride (via the wifey) to take yet she still declined.

Now here's the thread to cover why a newb shouldn't shoot a wedding. To those who didn't read into the thread and tried to help me out, I sincerely appreciate it and to those who felt the need to tell me how bad this was going to suck, don't worry, with the few braincells that I do have, I know and knew my lack of equipment and more importantly experience and my artistic eye and skill was and is lacking.

I'm done bitching like a little girl now.
