Essential Wedding Equipment Wedding Photographers Must Always Bring Posted: 18 Oct 2015 07:15 PM PDT Covering a wedding as a wedding photographer is a huge task. You can just go to the wedding and take pictures without planning and preparing for it. The couple relies on you to capture the special moments of their wedding and deliver memorable wedding photos that they can keep for a lifetime. Equipment, skills and experience are the 3 most important factors that wedding photographers need to have in order to successfully cover a wedding. When it comes to equipment, there are several wedding equipment that a wedding photographer should always bring to a wedding. Photographers who are new to wedding photography must know the essential things to buy and carefully choose which ones to buy. Cameras A camera can be considered as the photographer's best friend. There are several types of cameras available today but the best type is DSLR. Our wedding photographer essex has various DSLR cameras that he uses in weddings. DSLR cameras can be found in different brands, sizes and prices. A full-frame camera is of course better than APS-C and as for camera brands – the popular choices are Nikon, Canon and Sony. Check out the different full-frame cameras that these brands have to offer. Among the features to look for in a camera for wedding photography are low-noise capability, adjustable shutter speed, electronic viewfinder, large ISO range and sensor size. When working on a wedding, a wedding photographer should bring at least 2 camera bodies. If the primary camera suddenly breaks done, there is still another one that the photographer can use. Additionally, 2 cameras can allow you to use two separate lenses that can be used for different types of shots. One can be used for portrait shots while the other one can be for shooting the wedding venue. Lenses Lenses are also important for wedding photographers to get perfect wedding shots. There are lenses suitable for taking pictures of the venue and a good example is a wide-angle lens. On the other hand, there are lenses that are great for formal portraits. Prime lenses around 50-85mm are commonly used for portrait shots. When shooting discreetly from afar, the best lens to use is a telephoto zoom lens or a standard zoom. Some photographers do not invest too much in camera body but instead focus on buying the right lenses. Lenses have different aperture and the aperture can affect your capture image. The higher the aperture, the more light can come into the camera thus making the image look brighter. Since weddings are usually held indoors then an aperture of f/2.8 and higher are better. Memory cards, batteries, flashes Indoor wedding venues usually have dim light so an external camera flash can be helpful in providing light to your subject. You can diffuse, bounce or lessen the light if it is too much. Some wedding venues do not allow the use of flash for it can possibly disturb the solemn wedding ceremony. You will need to know their restrictions early so you can plan accordingly. Memory cards are definitely must haves and if you plan to take plenty of shots in RAW then you need to bring more memory cards. Bring also extra batteries and make sure the battery of your main camera is also fully charged so you can cover the wedding from start to end and no moment will be missed. If you plan to take formal portraits before the wedding ceremony, a tripod can also come in handy. You can place your camera onto the tripod, compose the shot, help the couple or the guests with the poses and take the shot. By bringing the right equipment and using your photography skills, you can surely cover the wedding successfully.
