Best cameras for Wedding Photographers?
Hello, I'm planning to start a career in wedding photography. What are the best camera options for me and what other basic equipment (kinds of lenses for weddings, tripods, lights, etc.) will I be needing?
Thank you so much.
For weddings I recommend a film camera as their range of highs to lows is much better than digital. If you're determined to go with digital, you'll need a full frame camera body. Or two.
Let's see...other things you'll need. Tripod, wide angle f/1.4 lens , semi-long f/2 lens, wide-to-semi-long f/2 lens, flash bracket, really good flash, 3-5 portable strobes with battery packs and tall stands, weights for the stands, radio triggers, softboxes, umbrellas, diffusers and reflectors, on-site backup system if you're going digital, an assistant, a case of Mylanta.... Conservatively, I'm guessing $15,000 to start, probably more like $20,000.
Wedding photography is not really a good place to start. I've been doing photography for years and have stayed away from it because I'm not that fond of the taste of Mylanta.
