There are a lot of amateur photographers who make the jump to professional wedding photographer. I've done dozens of weddings over the past 30 years. Still an amateur, and still shooting film ONLY at weddings. Have had lots of good food and good beer. Jim A. On Mar 8, 2008, at 6:28 AM

The Yashica-Mat camera is great for that use as it is almost completely quiet. One of the very few times I have been fooled to take pictures during a wedding (it was my brother) they didn´t want to be distracted by cameras during the ceremony, so I got a seat in front in the church and
