LPT: It's the lens, not the camera body, that makes images pop. You can rent pro lenses online for your special days.

If you (or one of your friends) has a cheap Canon, Nikon or Sony camera, you can make images for your special days really pop by getting a pro lens. Rent i.e. a 50mm 1.2 or 85mm 1.2 lens to really make special portraits that will stand out among the phone pictures everyone else does. There is no need to buy them as there are rental places that include insurance and shipping on the web for many western countries. Good for the US are lensptotogo and lensrentals.
