I photographed our friends wedding, but after the speeches they wanted me to put away the cameras and enjoy myself - so I traded in my Sony A1's for the Hasselblad X2D.
It was a good test and I am happy with how it performed in various lighting, but I wouldn't have used it for the whole day - not unless I used manual focus (or another camera) for those unrepeatable moments.
After 4 glasses of wine, Guinness, various cocktails and shots - the X2D IBIS was helped me out with 0.5 second exposures for fireworks, I merged four of them together for the final shot.
