I always bring the good camera to a wedding and reception. Allows me to
hide behind it and not have to deal with all the standard gooey stuff..
Unless I've promised to be the photographer for them, they expect some
shots as a present from me. Either that or they have paid me to shoot.
That being said, I've ended up enjoying a number of the ones I was paid
to shoot because the bride and groom were offspring of friends.
Most of the time the pro hired to shoot is fine with me shooting too...
and I dont' use flash. But once one of them got rather amusingly
competitive... he checked out what I was doing and copied me! lol!

Here's a survey question... as an invited guest at a wedding, do you
bring your dslr?
Yes i do, but as some one stated, i stay out of the way avoid flash,
and take candid shots of our area. If i don't bring a camera to
weddings people think i don't like them/:-)

A good friend of mine got married this weekend... I almost didn't
bring it, but in the end, I threw the k-5& FA 50 in my purse "just in
case" I wanted it later....
It's funny territory, I think. There's a pro on hand to capture the
day. Yet, the number of cell phone and p&s cams being held aloft in
the pews is almost comical... On the other hand, maybe the dslr seems
a bit much? I mean, you don't want to be Uncle Harry, elbowing the pro
out of the way to get your shot of the happy couple...
Hmm. Maybe the K-01 (in white, of course) for this type of occasion
would be appropriate. I'll have to see if it fits in an evening
bag...
:)
