Hey Micheal, Not sure how much you're wanting to spend but you really don't need a lot to get decent shots with the 10D. I just shot my wife's cousin's wedding in Phoenix last weekend with mine and the 380EX flash,(had this from my elan setup), and was very happy with the results. I set my ISO at 200 only turned the flash off for the ceremony shots on aperture priority. I'll post a few tomorrow for you. They're still on my laptop. For the bracket I went with Donald's advice and got the stroboframe vh2000 and wouldn't trade it for any other. I've used the quickflip styles and much prefer the vh2000. I took one strobe with me but never used it. Only had 20 minutes to shoot all the formals and such after the wedding ceremony. I've tried the 550ex from the studio on my 10D but seem to get underexposed shots. Could be the settings on it but the boss doesn't have instructions for it. Personally I wouldn't mind having a set of 3 550's plus the transmitter for weddings. Would sure beat setting up strobes for formals. Anyway hopes this answers a bit of your question, if not I'll try again.. Take care.. Doug
