I have never been to a fancy wedding and seen a photographer in anything but a suit or tux. Now I am not talking about things that take place at the firehouse or Elks lodge - I am talking about high end where the dress code is Black Tie.
Photographers aren't staff and more than the minister or musicians are. Range of motion takes precedence.

The dirty clothes analogy isn't what I'm saying, I'm saying get a shirt that won't look like you slept in it at the end of the night. You want to be MORE presentable, and the vast majority of dress shirts won't do that for you.

Normal dress shoes are not an option, because not only are they potentially unsafe if you need to be in an awkward position, but your back will be killing you by the end of the night.

I don't have an aversion to dressing up, I'm one of the few people I know who actually owns a tux, but there's no way I would wear clothes that would distract me while I'm trying to work.
