Hello folks,
I'm doing my first wedding soon for a friend of mine and was wondering what the views were of using a 7D for weddings?
My friend knows it's my first wedding and knows the quality of my work (as I did some band pictures for his group - appreciate that it's completely different to this but at least we've worked together). I have however ensured that we have a contract in place and while I'm not charging that much I will be charging for the wedding.
I am meeting them at the venue tomorrow to 'scout' the location and to discuss mine and their expectations on the day, particularly as I am a single shooter. Thankfully the bride is getting ready at the reception venue and the ceremony is taking place there. Part of my chat with them tomorrow will be around the types of pictures I am wanting to take and what they would want taken - so effectively drawing up a shot list.
The equipment I have available:
Canon 7D
Canon 40D
580exii flash
24-105 f4
70-200 2.8 is II
Batteries and CF cards!
I am also considering hiring a 16-35 2.8
So, back to my question - views on a 7D for weddings? Any other tips most welcome too.
