are wedding photos usually really PP'd?

This brings up an interesting thought experiment.

What kind of shots do you think would result if, for one day, all cameras and flashes had to be used absolutely manual only?

Probably a lot of available light only shots for the day. And an increased amount of time in peoples editor of choice you would have to turn off the lcd also

..The weddings I have done I have never taken more than 350 images. I don't get shutter happy and the weddings are never more than 4 hours. I use photoshop bridge to load the images and do all my adjustments on each image (removing what I will not use in the process) and then process them all..after that all I need to do is run an action for noiseware and sharpening and I'm done..then a few special effects. I would love to have a preset but I'm not too knowledgeable in that area to make a preset that would fit each wedding because each one is different and I don't want to use a general setting for it..each one is different so I treat each image that way.. It may take a few hours but I'm happy with the result.

What about a fatherzilla or mother-in-lawzilla....I had both at the last wedding..bride and groom hired me, mother-in-law hired her own photographer and father hired his own..well, it is in my contract that I'm the only photographer allowed or I walk..wasn't long until I was the only one shooting and the rest packed up and left..I use an XT and they used 30d's and was told my images blew theirs away (from what they got) so it isn't all about equipment but how you use it.

For me, I really think I'd be able to do just as good a job. I shoot 100% manual, anyway, and the last wedding I had to shoot manual flash during the reception because my 580EXII was acting up in ETTL and dumping the flash one out of about every five shots.
