I'm just starting out and I have my first wedding job in a few weeks. Its for a co-worker. Anyways just curious if I can get by on what I have, equipment wise. I know its about the photographer, and not the equipment, but just humor me. The list as follows: 2 canon rebel xt's 4 batteries (6) 4gb memory cards (1) 1gb memory card (1) 2gb memory card Speedlite 430ex flash w/ shoe cord (2) ef 18-55mm kit lenses (1) ef 70-300 4-5.6zoom 50mm prime 1.8 85 mm prime 1.8 (2) tripods filters, but not really sure you will need those at a wedding A laptop for backing up of filled memory cards and thinking about renting a EF 70-200mm f/2.8 IS. Can't afford to buy one now. Any ideas of what I mite else need, to an extent, kind of on a budget. As I said before, I am pretty confident in my skills, but I still see necessary eqipment a must to. Thanks for any input
I think you're fine. Most of the lenses you own aren't very bright, so you might find yourself using the 50mm most of the time. I've never shot a wedding, so I'm not sure if you need to go beyond 70mm.
Don't rent the 70-200. Rent a 17-55 IS, put it on one body, and put the 85 on the other as your telephoto.
