Good morning photographers. I am kinda new to photography but I am learning fast (2nd/3rd year of living & breathing photography)

I am planning on photographing weddings / glamour shots

I currently have a 60D but I would like to upgrade to either a refurbished Mark III OR a new 6D.

Does anyone have experience with buying a refurbished camera?

Which cam should I get? Refurb Mark III? OR NEW 6D?

Please help me. I'm stuck!

Thank you for taking the time to assist.

Good morning. I am fairly new to photography but I am learning fast (2nd year of living & breathing photography)

My intentions are to become a wedding/boudoir photographer.

I currently have a 60D but I would like to upgrade to either a refurbished Mark III OR a new 6D.

Does anyone have experience with buying a refurbished camera?

Which cam should I get??? Refurb Mark III OR NEW 6D???

Please help me. I'm stuck!

Thank you for taking the time to assist.

Good evening, EVERYONE! Does anyone know of some good locations in NYC to photograph a couples shoot. I really appreciate any

help that I can get.

Thank you!

To clarify my question:

I'm looking for information like:

1) # of weddings per year in Connecticut? (Sorted by county?, Sorted by

months?)

2) how much are people spending per wedding in Connecticut? (Sorted

by county or town?)

3) how much does the average wedding budget for photography in

Connecticut?

4) what are the more popular ways that a bride & groom find a wedding

photographer in Connecticut? (SEO?, Word of mouth?, wedding

knot.com?, direct mail?)

Also, any information about who is hiring wedding photographers

(income groups, age groups, locations in Connecticut)

I really would appreciate it if anyone can point me in the right direction

on where I can locate this information.

I just wanted to thank everyone for their advice and the time it took them to write their response. I entirely understand that I am years

away and I need to improve vastly. I do get that.

I posted a question earlier - what camera to buy for a beginning wedding photographer => Canon 60D, Canon 7D, Canon 6D, or Canon

Mark II?

Everyone decided to stray from the original question so I am writing this to help calm their fears....

I want to respond to everyone is is questioning my situation and avoiding the question at hand. First of all, I have a B.A. In Business & my

business partner has a B.A. In Marketing. In addition, my stepfather has a M.B.A. in Business & a P.H. D in Business. He is a

professional business consultant. My partner and I meet with him weekly. He is our mentor.

We are in the process of creating our business & marketing plan.

I am a part time nursing student & I do not work. I have lots of time to learn photography. My camera goes everywhere with me. I

currently have a Rebel. I like it but I want to upgrade to a DSLR.

For 2013, I have 3 engagement shoots and 3 glamour shoots as well as a multitude of regular shoots scheduled to do for free. In every

situation, the people know that I am just a beginner. That being said, they love the photos that I have taken so far. Obviously, I am trying

to build my skills as well as my portfolio.

I plan on practicing like crazy for the next 2 years. I know that I will not be a wedding photographer overnight.

Ok. So back to my original question - for wedding photography - what do people recommend => Canon 7D, Canon 60D, Canon Mark II,

or Canon 6D.

I understand that I need lenses and other photography equipment. I just would like people's opinion on what body to buy.

Happy holidays. 6 months ago I began taking pictures and I am now ready to purchase my 1st DSLR! Within the next 1-2 years, I will be

getting into wedding photography. I am trying to decide what body to buy and my options are: Canon 5D-Mark II, Canon 7D, Canon 60D,

or Canon 6D. Which camera is best for a beginning wedding photographer.

Please help me decide...

I appreciate the feedback:)

Just so u know....even though I am just a beginner I have been learning photography at a fast pace due to ample time & training videos.
