Note: The host of the challenge may also enter a photo and is encouraged to do so. Should the host win, the runner up will host the next challenge, so as to avoid the same person hosting in two consecutive weeks.

im surprised no one has posted a photo of a photographer at a wedding making photographs but here's a different take.

the vested gentleman with the glasses is the primary at a wedding he hired me on to do 2nd shooter. he also coaches competitive cheer and gymnastics so is almost ALWAYS fixing up costumes and such that get snagged or torn or whatever at competitions.

here he is helping to mend something on the bride's gown.

24-70 f2.8 L II is the lens. no idea what the ISO might be without digging into the image

i edited this post to add the lens info and it deleted the 5D3 f2.8/ 1/40 info from the page...

Photographers at Chanonry Point - location here. There are about 33 photographers at the water's edge. My conservative estimate is that each of them had kit costing at least £1500 ($1890). So, in total, there's around s around £70000 ($8800) of kit there!

You can see what they are all hoping to catch with their camersas here
