For weddings I recommend a film camera as their range of highs to lows is much better than digital!. If you're determined to go with digital, you'll need a full frame camera body!. Or two!.

Let's see!.!.!.other things you'll need!. Tripod, wide angle f/1!.4 lens , semi-long f/2 lens, wide-to-semi-long f/2 lens, flash bracket, really good flash, 3-5 portable strobes with battery packs and tall stands, weights for the stands, radio triggers, softboxes, umbrellas, diffusers and reflectors, on-site backup system if you're going digital, an assistant, a case of Mylanta!.!.!.!. Conservatively, I'm guessing $15,000 to start, probably more like $20,000!.

Wedding photography is not really a good place to start!. I've been doing photography for years and have stayed away from it because I'm not that fond of the taste of Mylanta!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sounds like you're jumping in over your head if you don't know this stuff!. You would do much better working for someone doing this before you start your own business!.

Over all there isn't a best camera but you need a good camera!.
Something around the range of a
Nikon d3
Canon EOS-1D Mark III

You will need a backup camera and lots of lenses, flashes, tri,bi ponds ect ect!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You need two cameras, a pink one and another pink one!. A screw on fish-eye lens with a heart vignette!. Your camera should have a built in light!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
