In regards to going nuts at the OP because he clearly has no idea, and is going to be shooting a wedding. I'm not sure about America, but here in Oz, Weddings are a lot more casual most of the time.
Just like most things, there are varying degrees of service you can employ for a given situation. This couple has chosen to employ a beginner who has just purchased a new camera to be their photographer. Which is both their choice and their folly should the shots not be to their liking.
I don't see why we instantly jump at the photographer who may be in over his head, but was asked by the bridge and groom nonetheless, instead of waiting for further information.
It's like going nuts at a Datsun car because someone chose to purchase it, when the owner could have purchased a mercedese benz. "you shouldn't have let them buy you, you should have told them to buy a mercedez".
All in all, i think in these wedding photo topics, more blame needs to be placed on the employers rather than the employee. Yeah.
