The equipment you chose is what I got for my starter kit for weddings a year ago. If you want some quick wireless capabilities, buy a yongnou transceiver. It's like $40 and works up to shutter speed 1/200 just fine.

You don't need a diffuser. Bounce off ceilings / walls / t shirts. Even if you're outside, covering the flash up with a piece of paper (to diffuse) or bouncing off a chair / person / paper w/ cardboard backing is superior to 95% of diffusers.

You'll really love your 5d Ii. It's a superb camera.

Good luck! Post pics
You'll see how hard weddings are and earn a new respect for em. Don't forget that the most important things in a wedding include ALL wedding rituals. You miss the first kiss, you auto-fail.

1/200 is more than enough to shoot anything wedding related, minus michael jackson wanna-be's in the dance floor. Then again, blurring them out is always cool, as long as you pan their face

If you love it enough to dedicate yourself to it, pm me on the real tips you'll need for a successful wedding business. Most of the stuff on the internet regarding this subject is junk.

I agree. However, quality > all.
I'd rather have a slightly messy steak that tastes incredible than a neat steak that's dry.
