Your wedding day is a once in lifetime opportunity and there is no time for do-overs or mulligans. A professional photographer will have experience shooting in all kinds of situations and will know how to handle those situations.  In addition, they will have back up equipment just in case something happens during the course of your day. You don’t want to hear excuses about flashes burning up or cracked lenses during your wedding day.
