Back in the original X100 days, Brian Kraft shot his Hawaii holiday with his X100, and was a second shooter at a wedding with it, too. Zack Arias was an avid X100 user, and said that he would do weddings with it on the condition that he got to shoot it his way. Allowing for style and expectations, a X100 or other fast 35mm equivalent camera could shoot weddings perfectly.Reading this thread I have remenbered the days when a friend came to ask to make a wedding reportage to a very special couple for her... those days I was making weddings and I used a DSLR system with its zooms + flash... but before the wedding I liked to know the couple before so I used to be with them one afternoon, with my cameras+lenses etc... and in this case, when I knew the couple and I was with them I knew that I couldn't make my job as usual... they were different in many aspects, so I decided to take the X100 with me in the wedding day, only the X100 (with some batteries and cards). Nothing more.

Back in Canada I was living in same town with ex PJ who moved to Canada from Moscow and was running weddings business by him and freelancers. He took 500 or so wedding on film around GTA.
He quit at some point and went for renovation business (not uncommon turn).
After sometime he got Canon SL1 or SL2 and told it is good enough for weddings.
I think, it is still intact.
"His own way" is not very common, most common way is via cliches.
Another photog who is still around Moscow is taking paid gigs on film Zenit once in a while.
Because he has reputation for doing his way good.
