thanks for all the discussion.. it just came across my mind the other nite while i was playing around with my PWs and realised it had this feature.

Well if you setup the tripod in the aisle and asked the bride to sidestep it you may have an issue. If you use some common sense and set it up in a private balcony or in the AV booth some facitilies have you'd be fine. It amazes me how many people will tell you why you can't do something.
It works. It's easy. It's not for any shot you NEED but it will get some shots you might WANT and otherwise wouldn't get.
You would use it for a wide shot of the ceremony, not zoomed in on the couple or anything like that. It works fine if you use some common sense and if you have a spare body.
The idea of a remote up front is simply not a workable option. It's been tried time and time again with zero success.
You are way off the line on this one!
Who is going to shoot a wedding at ISO3200?!!! Buy faster lenses!!!
Why does it downcalss the business? Can you tell me? I don't understand this? Because I may want to try something different???
Remember the OP stated multiple cameras so the main shots wioll still be taken but you can supplement these with some amazing emotion shots..... think about it!!
Why would we be fleecing? Is it such a bad idea? I'd really like to know why you feel as you do!!
It's a simple enough question and the answer seems to be that it is doable but probably isn't the best idea, especially if it's untested.I was wondering if anyone who has multiple bodies and pocketwizards has ever thought to preframe and focus one cam on a tripod during the ceremony
I believe this is a separate issue and should be discussed in another thread. And please keep the tone civil...there is nothing wrong with a heated discussion but we will shut down any threads that get out of hand.i havent shot any weddings.. ive been seriously considering getting a start in it this summer
I'm sorry but you are wrong on this, plain and simple. Just because it didn't work for you doesn't mean it's not possible. I have used a remote camera several times in places I could not be and it's worked just fine.
I'm not going to argue about experience, as a wedding photographer who has invested a lot of time and a lot of money into photography I support your idea of learning first. Wedding photography isn't a trial and error sort of thing. I just don't think it's fair that you jump on people like that - he asked a question about remote cameras not about whether we approve of him doing the wedding.
Let's stay on the topic
MY whole point in even considering it was that Nobody is supposed to be behind the minister during the wedding (especially a photographer or assistant) and nobody but the minister really sees the emotion on the faces of the B/G during the ceremony so why not get one or two shots. Because they are looking the other way you wouldn't be doing anything anyway so aim the remote and shoot. I wouldn't suggest doing it anyway with out a third body. mike ***looks like a lot has gone on since started typing. It also looks lilke there are Two WAY different conversations going on here and I'll be leaving now. me
