Another informative post. As you know, I am very resistant to the idea of turning my picture taking into a job of any sort. However, every week when your newsletter hits my inbox the thought does occur to me "okay, that might be kind of fun once or twice".
I will reiterate my recommendation for anybody who is seriously thinking about starting a wedding photography business right now to subscribe to your publication and soak up as much of your knowledge and experience as they can.
But if I ever was going to shoot a wedding as a paying gig, I’d almost certainly use it as an excuse to finally buy a camera body that’s not at least a decade old.
Chris,

I think you’re in a unique position where you don’t have to commit to anything even semi-structured as a “business.”
It starts with keeping your ears open for that small opening and then saying, “Sure, I’d be happy to help.”
Then whatever happens after that is purely up to you.
I think you’ve got the goods, you’ve got the gear and you’ve got the great attitude to do this when you you want.
Thank you for reading, Todd! I live a fun life vicariously through your work and appreciate what you bring every day.
“You’ve got the gear”.
Lenses yes.
But if I ever was going to shoot a wedding as a paying gig, I’d almost certainly use it as an excuse to finally buy a camera body that’s not at least a decade old.
