To answer my own question, no. Being a photographer who works alone, and is very particular, I just do not have the equipment or resources to shoot weddings at a level that I am satisfied with. I have only shot two weddings in my life. The first being my wife's cousin, and the second being a former coworker. I am happy with the "candid" shots I took. But, at the second wedding, I also took group shots after the ceremony. They just did not meet my standard for my photographs. The problem was the lack of sufficient lighting. Without a minimum of a good hotshoe flash (which I did not yet own) I had to use a higher ISO and slower shutter speed than what I would have liked to use. Because of this, they just did not turn out how I'd have liked. The reception had even less light. But with the low, white ceilings, the Nikon SB-800 flash that I own now would have worked perfect. But, the wedding was one week before I was able to buy my flash. Bad timing, for me. The resulting photos are not "bad", but they are not what I would have liked to see.
Below is a photo from my first, and second weddings (respectively).
