[QUOTE="Shutteringfocus, post: 97545, member: 12076"] There is a lot more to "Professional" than camera equipment. We are shooting weddings with camera bodies that are 3 generations old. We don't even have the best glass. We have good glass...but not the best. Being professional has more to do with your interaction with your clients and the resulting artwork you can give them. Being reliable, coming through with great shots no matter what, etc. Getting the shots, making the client look amazing, creating beautiful art from their day. That is what professional wedding photography is about and that is really where the difference between $1000 wedding photographers and $5000 + wedding photographers comes in. Having the best gear just makes it easier. I'm always a little wary of someone who says you "can't" do something. I'd also be wary of a wedding photographer claiming to be "professional" having only shot 2 weddings and using a consumer slr. [/QUOTE]
