I have a Canon 15-85 on my 7D and it's been a great all round lens, just wish it was a bit faster at the long end, but you can't have everything.

I'm not a wedding photographer, but did video a wedding for some friends. I tried to be as discreet and inconspicuous as possible so as not to detract from proceedings, I'm sure most responsible photographers do the same.

Hang on to the stuff until you can get on Antiques Road Show :D

Thanks for the thoughts, although we were married for nearly 57 years it wasn't long enough. Make sure you spend and value the time with your loved ones,
