I always love seeing what other photographers bring with them on wedding days. I feel like every photographer has different items/gear that they love to bring to a wedding with them that they find super helpful. So in the spirit of being purely nosey and curious myself, I’m going to share everything that I bring with me to a wedding!
All of the Gear
- My primary camera, Canon 5D Mark IV
- Canon Battery Grip
- My backup camera, Canon 6D
- Canon 50mm f/1.2 lens (this is my fav lens!)
- Canon 100mm macro lens f/2.8 (the best lens for ring shots and detail shots)
- Canon 70-200 f/2.8 lens (my go-to ceremony lens!)
- Canon 24-70 f/2.8 lens (my favorite reception lens)
- Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens (I like to bring this lens as a backup to my 50mm 1.2 just in case something were to happen to the lens during the wedding)
