I completely and totally relate! My irl job is a wedding photographer, and I'm in love with every aspect of it. You would THINK I'd want to leave the camera behind, but I so rarely get to shoot for fun anymore. I'm craving that experience and think I'd feel naked without a dSLR. Yet at the same time... this IS my honeymoon, and I'll be honest and say that I tend to ignore others when I am in my "mode".
Any suggestions on what I should bring?
My options...
G11 or s95 (both Canon p&s that are raw capable)
5D Mark 2 (lighter weight and fantastic low light performance)
1D Mark 3 (large and heavy, but perfect for fast action and is weather sealed which is much better for beach use, it also has two memory card slots)
40D (wouldn't care if it was stolen or damaged, but doesn't have near the quality of the others)
iPhone 4s (shockingly good, except for closeup photos where there is way too much distortion from the wide angle lens, and we will probably get a waterproof case for underwater shots)
Lenses...
50 1.4
24-70 2.8 (this lens is called "the brick" for a reason, but is a wedding workhorse... which is why I have two of them)
70-200ISii2.8 (this is the newer version that is sharp and gorgeous, but weighs 5 lbs)
70-200ISf4 (the lightest of my zooms, but only f4)
100 2.0 macro
I'm guessing I'll only bring one flash... but that's where my husband tends to go crazy. He loves his off camera lighting! He would want a tripod too... I may buy a gorilla pod for him, but he is a pretty major tripod snob. I have duplicates of everything but the 5D2, and it is all heavily insured, but it is also my means of income... I don't have grocery money if I don't book weddings.
