Phillip, nothing wrong with going this route as log as you trust your equipment and setup. There are many who work this way, our very own Mark Foley among them. I assisted as second shooter at a wedding last night, where the videographer works this way as well. I prefer to work with both, but am starting to rely more on my audio recorders then in camera audio for the majority of my edit. After all I use external recorders to record musicians and readings at ceremonies, and pretty much all of my audio at the reception is captured live to recorders. The only place where I can't get around being comfortable is not monitoring the audio from a groom during a ceremony. the funny thing about this is that the only ting that I can do is adjust the audio levels accordingly while the ceremony is going on. Once it starts if his audio cuts out for some reason, or he happens to turn it off accidentally before the service, then in most cases I can't do anything anyway. So I could probably go all digital recorders myself, and have in some instances where wireless aren't allowed like you mentioned. And that came out great with no issues. The only thing that I prefer to do at a reception regarding wireless is either mounting a wireless handheld on a PA stack for sync/backup audio to tape. Also sometimes I might take a feed from my R-44 (via RCA out) and send this to my camera for backup sync audio as well. In both instances, the audio is really only used for sync purposes during my edit.
