[QUOTE="Elliot87, post: 352335, member: 25183"] I was one of those people who asked a friend to shoot my wedding. Not because he had a DSLR but because I'd lived with him for a year and new that he took great photos. He agreed and shot our wedding as a gift to us, although we did buy him a couple of bits of gear he needed such as a better flash. In hindsight, having now taken up photography I regret asking him. Not because the results were bad, as they weren't. With a D3100 he took a great deal of photos that my wife and I love. I regret asking him because I now have some idea of how big a job it is, what gear pros use and how much pressure it must have put on him. He has since been asked to do other friends weddings after they'd seen our photos but he flat out refused and I don't blame him. I'd like to make a bit of money from wildlife photography one day, enough to pay for at least some of my gear, but there's no way I'd want to do events photography! [/QUOTE]
