Hello all,
My Nikon D300 was recently stolen. (Not the Issue)
Thanks to a handsome payout from the insurance company I've received a good chunk of cash in order to replace the body and a few lenses. I currently have an EM5 with a few lenses, I absolutely adore it! Great camera, provides the absolute freedom I love for street and candid shots. However I'm looking to get more into Wedding photography and I've wanted a Full Frame camera for the job. For the money I'll be receiving my choices remain the D600(610) or EM1.
Now my question is which to choose, is the EM1 capable of proper wedding photography? I felt confident using the EM5 as a secondary camera, but I've never given much thought to two M4/3rds cameras for Professional Wedding Photography.

Thanks for your time!

I appreciate any input.

1) Do you frequently make use of extreme shallow depth of field in your work

2) Do you frequently make use of wireless off camera TTL Flash in your work

If your answered yes to the above two question then you will probably be better off sticking with Nikon full frame.
