[QUOTE="goz63, post: 5338, member: 1557"] Having outstanding equipment may help but it still comes down to the photographer. I just spent a pant load on my sons graduation pictures. Yes I have a nice Nikon camera and some nice (IMO) glass. I also have computer software to process the pictures. I still spent the money and had it done well. It was not cheap but it will be worth it. As for wedding photography, well some people in this economy can't afford it. The "settle" for a much lesser quality due to cost cutting. That is not to say pro-wedding photographers are over priced, they have to make a living and pay their over head.
