(Please only answer if you are extremely experienced.) I am a photographer that has just done senior, family, and infant photography so far. I need a little help because I have 2 weddings booked for this summer. I need to know a good lens, flash, and other equipment that might be helpful. I have a Nikon D80 right now. (Yes, I know, I'm not rich.. Someday I'll get something better.) One of the weddings is on the 4th of July and I need advice on shooting people with fireworks, too. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks! =)
 
people with fireworks.......use a shutter of say 4-8 seconds, fire a flash on the people during the exposure to freeze and burn them into the image

for weddings you need a wide for group shots and tight indoor shots - so a 10-22mm or something like that, depending on what other lenses you have that and 35-100mm ish on your 1.5 crop should be helpfull also

two off camera flash units/strobes, an assistant to watch your back and your gear and to hold the flashes et cetera

D80, 80D whatever tools are just that..........d80 is a fine camera for shooting weddings, if you do upgrade one day full frame is the best weapon for weddings........d3

"Digital Wedding Photography" by Glen Johnson is an amazing book with tons of information about wedding photography. I recommend reading it right away!
