You have to admit asking a relative to be a photographer is a risky business on the part of the bride and groom. My nightmare is messing up all the important photos.
Nikon D3100 with Tokina 28-70mm f3.5, (I like to use a Vivitar .43x aux on the 28-70mm Tokina), Nikkor 10.5 mm fisheye, Quanteray 70-300mm f4.5, ProOptic 500 mm f6.3 mirror lens.

Seems people assume you have a decent camera, your in a camera club.... you can photograph their wedding!
I have turned down 4 requests this year. I hate photographing people, so a wedding is a definate nono, no matter what the offer.

Well, we all need to start somewhere. I say do lots of research and see what results the pro's are turning out, write down pointers and shoots lots at the gig. Everything takes time and you might have to take the bad with the good for a while. Eventually it will pay off.
It is going to be hard to go out and shoot a wedding outdoors if you spend all your time photographing dogs in a studio.
Sit, stay, ok, hold it! Awww, no drooling! :O
