On the rare occasions (and I mean RARE) that I have done a wedding
video I use my Telex that has a hand held module with an SM58 head.
I prepped the speaker before hand, told them to speak directly into
the mic and look at the camera and keep it brief. It has always worked
well for me but then again I don't shoot weddings.
Would probably prefer to have needles stuck in my eye ;-^)
