I used to work in a camera shop when I left school. But I think i've sold more camera since then, from referring all the wedding guests that I have met!
So now you can see my recommendations!
(i'll try and put some 'affordable' cameras in there too!)
Whilst my 2 wedding camera do cost more than £5000 each - I also own the Fuji S20 - one that weighs less than the mighty 4 kg that each wedding camera weighs and is holiday friendly! The latest model - the Fuji S30 (which I recommend in my store) costs less than 1/25th of my wedding cameras
See some fabulous photos taken with this camera in India ) Impressive photographs taken on a camera costing less than £250

Ive just invested in 5 extra (I've now 9 top-of-the-range flashguns!) Wireless 2.4Ghz TTL Flashguns
With a Wireless capability range of hundreds of meters
I am able to control the flashes independently from my camera (i.e. a flash in another room in the bar - 2 around the dance floor, 2 flash units surrounding the head table [yet be able to power these down when the best man stands up for his speech!] and arranging 2 - 3 others in the reception room to illuminate [at choice] and 'bring in' the background of the venue and wedding guests! and still have others poised in strategic positions to bring in when needed! Obtaining incredible 3D lighting using off camera flashes
With this top of the range highly capable set up - winter weddings wont even be a challenge!
Having photographed 6 different castles as wedding venues this last season - im aware that light is more of an issue than the average optimistic enthusiast would have you believe and 7 flashguns isn't even indulgent! (cor blimey its expensive though! - just one single Canon flash retail at £670 )
Im really impressed with them! - Canons Professional Flash pages: here
Im very grateful for my personal tour of the Graphistudio Production Facilities at their Head Quarters yesterday!
I saw an incredible forthcoming range of Wedding Albums / Books!
I spent a little over hour in the facilities (after the journey there in that heat - any less would have been crazy!)
Im certainly enthused by Graphistudio's Wedding Book Products!

Everyone complains about the inconvenience of snow - Yet for yesterdays wedding .... OMG
For me it was a disaster! - I had to go out and spent £3500 due to the snow holding up the postman!!!!
One of my Nikon D3s was supposed to be enroute via a courier from NIKON (a service - fortunately fast tracked with my Nikon NPS Nikon Professional Service) yet by 10am it hadn't arrived and I was checking on the courier's website, it hadnt even arrived in the dispatching depot. Snow was everywhere - as was chaos. A veritable 'Winter Wonderland!'
I had to go to my local camera shop London Camera Exchange (fortunately a Nikon Pro Dealer) and buy an additional D3s Body! (Christmas came early for them that morning!)
2 Nikon Pro Bodies is luxury, whilst 3 is ... extravagant? (someones going to get a bargain on Ebay next week!)
I dont work with one camera - twice ive been grateful for the 2nd body when the 'unforeseen' raises its ugly head! (there is a reason I defecting from Canon to Nikon! - Canon's 5D is called a semi-pro camera for a reason [its plastic build is a clue!] )
I arrived at the wedding on time, my tiny Smart Car having acting more as a sledge than a car, skidding and sliding in the country lanes around Bradford On Avon, where the bridal preparations had been. On one particular hill - bobsledding sideways on a rather exhilarating decent - "just get me to the church on time" ringing in my ears!
I later shared this story with the wedding couple, and confessed, I wasn't going to earn anything that day! (or the other weddings in December!)
I have created a wedding photography website for all of the wedding promotions that I offer.
This new wedding website lists the wedding photographer promotions and offers available on wedding photography bookings www.WeddingPromotions.co.uk
www.WeekdayWedding.co.uk and www.WeddingInWinter.co.uk now point to these pages on my new photography promotions website.
