A LOOK INSIDE
My
wedding Kit
Here's an overview of what I typically use to photograph a wedding.
1. Sony a74 (2x)
My main workhorse cameras. They're light, have great ISO performance, and won't break the bank.
One of my favorite cameras and is always wrapped around my neck on a wedding day. I also use this almost exclusively for dance floor.
2. Leica q2
3. Leica q3 43
The newest addition to my kit, which replaced my Leica M10R simply for the autofocus and EVF. My eyesight just isn't good enough to utilized an M rangefinder on a wedding day.
4. Sony zeiss Planar 50mm
Another staple lens for me. This lens never leaves the camera. 80% of my coverage is this lens and the Q2.
5. Sony 35mm G-Master
A relatively newer addition that I bring out from time to time when I need just a bit more space without going as wide at 28mm. This lens is fast and has a beautiful portrait rendering in the right conditions.
6. Leica 50mm Summilux
Quite possibly the best 50mm portrait lens ever made... has an incredible flare characteristic and depth of field. This was on my M, but I'm still deciding if I need to keep to mount to one of my sony's.
I use this on my sony's at night, but honestly don't love the hotshoe mount. It breaks often because it's cheap plastic, but it does the trick without breaking the bank, like the sony natives or Profoto. I would recommend having two incase you accidentally break it during a busy wedding.
