Hey, that's my favorite hobby! If you have the money, photography is a super fun hobby, and if you don't mind buying older second-hand stuff, you can get cameras and manual lenses for super super cheap.
I got my dslr for 400ish bucks in 2015, and I got one of the best macro lenses produced for my mount off ebay for 90 bucks. Add in a flash diffuser for 10 and a flash for 50ish, and I have a nice setup for a hobbyist.
Funny enough my wife is a wedding photographer, I shoot with her a few times a year and absolutely hate it. She can't imagine doing anything else but if it wasn't my wife you couldn't pay me enough to do it more than once a year.
The second hand gear is the way to go though, she got some Sony camera a while back that cost like 2k new for around 900 because it had a small scratch on the body and one of the metal things that hold the thing on was loose. We ordered a new metal thingy and with a couple screws it was practically new.
I get that it's not for everyone, but have you considered a different type of photography? Taking photos at a wedding sounds like my own personal hell, but going out into the woods to take pictures of cool little bugs or mushrooms and stuff like that is really fun and relaxing for me.
