The document provides information on equipment recommendations for wedding photographers, including camera bodies, lenses, flashes, and accessories. It recommends digital SLR cameras with full-frame sensors from Canon and Nikon as primary cameras. It also recommends three zoom lenses - a wide-angle zoom, a wide-to-telephoto zoom, and an image-stabilized telephoto zoom, primarily from Canon and Nikon. Additionally, it recommends including some fast prime lenses and also having backup camera bodies and equipment to avoid failures during important moments. The document provides examples of specific lens, flash, light stand, and accessory models that would be suitable.

1. Professional Videography and Photography Information By: Amber Abidi

2. Camera Info SLR camera For outdoor photography, weddings and especially for weather photography, the common SLR type of camera is best suited. SLR stands for single-lens reflex, where both the composition and metering as well as the actual film exposure are being done through a single lens. When the shutter of the camera is closed, the mirror is in the path of the lens, reflecting the light upward and focusing it onto a matted glass, where you look at through the viewfinder. When you take a picture, the mirror flips upward, the shutter opens and the film is being exposed, and after the shutter closes again the mirror falls back down.

4. adaptability - SLR cameras are used by amateurs and professionals alike, and tripods, cable releases, flash shoes and so on are widely available for these cameras.

5. modularity - choosing a separate body/lens camera system has the advantage that you can mount a wide range of lenses on a single camera body. If you plan to photograph at focal lengths between 28mm and 200mm or so, you might do well by just having a single zoomlens, but for fisheye-lenses and telescopic (very long) telephoto lenses it is always easier to have the modularity the SLR camera bodies offer.

6. single lens - you will be using a wide range of lenses, and you can easily compose the frame by looking into the viewfinder, which shows the frame like it will appear on the frame, eventually, whichever type of lens you are using.

8. single-lens: while you are taking a photo on B mode (or a long exposure in general), like you would do with lightning and aurora photography, you cannot look through the viewfinder. This can sometimes be irritating, e.g. when you want to check if a thunderstorm producing lightning is still in the frame, or to see whether an airplane or car would get in the frame, possibly ruining your photo.

10. When you are responsible for documenting something as important as a wedding day, there is no excuse for not having the right tool. How do you get your hands on a $1500 Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USMwhen you only have $100 in your wallet? Rent it! Most professional photography stores have a rental department. Prices for a digital body range from $50-200/day and most lenses range from $10-30/day.

12. Even more important is the option not to use a flash, as few people would describe the light cast by an on-camera flash as romantic. Furthermore, some locations have restrictions on flash photography during the ceremony itself, or a bride might specifically request that a flash not be used.

13. The extra two stops of shutter speed between a f/2.8 lens and a cheaper f/4-5.6 kit lens can make the difference in getting the desired photograph.

14. There are photographers who make wonderful images with three to four fast primes and photographers who have every focal length covered with multiple lenses from 15-300mm.

16. Image-Stabilized Telephoto Zoom Canon full-frame body: Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USMor Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM Canon small-sensor body: same as above Nikon full-frame body: Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Nikon small-sensor body: same as above The 70-200mm focal length is an important range for ceremony images. Very few wedding parties want the photographer in the way during the ceremony. Most likely, you will be photographing down the aisle from the back of the church. This is where an image-stabilized telephoto zoom shines. 200mm is long enough to be able to take 3/4 length images of the bride and groom without creeping too far forward down the aisle and 70mm is wide enough to take in the bridesmaids or groomsmen as a group without switching lenses. When using a small-sensor camera as your primary or backup body, the bad news is that neither Nikon or Canon make an f/2.8 lens that gives you an effective 70-200mm focal length. You are going to have to pay the price and carry the weight of a lens designed for a full frame camera. The good news is that the small-sensor camera's 1.5x focal length multiplier can be a huge advantage. The 200/2.8 long end of the standard zoom becomes effective 300/2.8, a lens that would cost $4000 for a full-frame camera and be large and heavy enough to come in its own suitcase. The effective 300mm length allows for more creative options than a shorter lens, such as tightly cropped images of the bride and groom's hands while they put rings on each other's fingers. Whether you are using a full-frame or a small sensor body, the f/2.8 maximum aperture of these lenses gives you the option of narrowing the depth of field, keeping the viewer's attention on the in-focus subject while blurring the background. Canon's Image-Stabilization and Nikon's Vibration-Reduction systems are indispensable in allowing you to hold these large and heavy long lenses by hand, especially in low light situations. No wedding photographer should be without IS/VR on their long lenses. Image-stabilized telephoto zooms are expensive and this is another situation where rental may be a good way to go.

17. Prime Lenses Many photographers keep their lens kit to the three zoom lenses discussed previously. These lenses would probably cover 80-90% of the photos for any given wedding. It is worth including 2-3 fast prime lenses in your bag as well. These lenses are small, light, and fairly inexpensive. There are times at a wedding where, either for artistic or technical reasons, even an f/2.8 aperture is not enough to get the motion-stopping shutter speed or shallow depth of field desired. The faster prime lenses are ideal in these situations. An image that requires a 1/10th of a second shutter speed at f/2.8 will only require 1/30th of a second at f/1.8. That can be the difference between making a sharp image and a blurry one. However, for most professional wedding photographers, the best reason to include a few prime lenses in their wedding kit is that they provide an economical backup to their zoom lenses. Nothing is quite so terrifying as having equipment fail at a crucial moment. At a wedding in 2004, the aperture blades of a Canon 28-70/2.8 froze during the formal portraits. I remembered the 35/2 and 85/1.8 in my backup bag. After telling everyone to "take five" so I could run to the car, the backup lenses allowed me to finish the wedding without anyone noticing the failure. My preferred three lens prime kit consists of a 28/1.8, 50/1.8, and 85/1.8, all used on a full-frame body. The 28mm takes in the full scope of most ceremony locations and also works in crowded spaces, the 50mm is good for small groups or a dancing couple, and the 85mm is long enough for ceremony vow/rings/kiss images. A wedding can be successfully photographed with just these three lenses. What is better, telling a bride that you missed the kiss because your one long zoom lens malfunctioned, or providing her with an image, even if it isn't the absolute best photo you could have possibly taken? Three-Lens Prime Kit: 28mm: Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM, Nikon 28mm f/2.8D AF 50mm: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II, Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor 85mm: Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM, Nikon 85mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor

18. Camera body Most professional wedding photographers would agree that the essential tool for wedding photography is one of the current full-frame Canon or Nikon digital SLR's. As of late 2007, the best choices would be the Canon EOS 5Dor the Nikon D3. These bodies offer the best wide-angle capabilities with current lenses and the best image quality in low light. Does this mean that weddings cannot be photographed with a less expensive camera? Absolutely not. There are many excellent wedding photographers who use small sensor cameras such as the Nikon D300and the Canon EOS 40D. These cameras have excellent imaging and AF systems and, as mentioned earlier, provide a welcome boost in magnification for telephoto work. Their main drawback is the lack of f/2.8 wide-angle lenses. What about the entry level DSLR bodies? Could you photograph a wedding with a Canon Digital Rebel or Nikon D40? In theory, yes. The imaging systems in these cameras are very good and skilled photographers have no problem creating excellent images with them. However, these cameras do not make our list of recommended primary equipment for several reasons: (1) slower handling due to increased use of buttons/menus, rather than dials; (2) reduced AF speed; and (3) inferior low light/high ISO performance. Despite those limitations, these cameras make excellent and economical backup bodies. Canon full-frame body: Canon EOS 5D Canon small-sensor body: Canon EOS 40D Nikon full-frame body: Nikon D3 Nikon small-sensor body: Nikon D300 Only a fool would try to photograph an event as important as a wedding with only one camera body; bring a back-up body. If you do not own a back up body, or only have an entry level DSLR, look into renting.

19. Flashes and Accessories 2-3 500-800 w/s monolight heads 2-3 "speedlight" on-camera TTL flashes light stands for each flash umbrellas/softboxes for each flash flash triggering device (radio slaves, optical triggers, or PC cords) hand held flash meter There are two schools of thought regarding electronic flashes for wedding work. Photographers with a lot of studio experience usually feel most comfortable with the flexibility and power that a set of studio monolights provide. Photographers with more editorial experience often feel more comfortable with "speedlight" TTL flashes due to their light weight and speed of setup/takedown. Studio flashes have the advantage of significantly more lighting power and many options for light modifications such as softboxes, snoots, and barn-doors. This can be an advantage when you have a large wedding group to photograph, or when the location calls for some creative lighting to achieve the proper romantic feel. In my experience, time is the scarcest resource at a wedding. The faster you can set up and tear down, the happier you and your clients will be. For my personal wedding photography, TTL flashes' quick setup and lack of need for extension cords or electrical outlets have proven to be a far greater advantage. With either studio strobes or speedlights, you will need light stands and light modifying devices for each flash. Umbrellas are very popular due to their easy setup, but softboxes have better light softening and directional abilities. The real-world answer is that you should use whatever you can afford and are comfortable with. Monolights require fairly sturdy dedicated light stands. Even the small ones are somewhat heavy and require a lot of support. Small TTL speedlight flashes can be mounted on just about anything, but most photographers find that investing in a set of sturdy light stands is a worthwhile investment. For those new to working with external flash, the photo.net Studio Photography Primer and Lighting Equipment and Techniques Forum will be useful resources.

21. Remote Flash Triggering When setting up remote flashes for formal portraits, radio slaves are very handy. They allow you to eliminate long cords that wedding guests may trip over and to place flashes in locations where a cord would never reach. However, they are not necessary and many photographers successfully rely on optical flash triggers or infrared devices that allow the duration of remote flashes to be controlled by the camera body's through-the-lens flash metering system.

However, a hand-held flash meter can be valuable when setting up flashes for formal portraits. It is easy to stand in front of the flashes with a light meter in one hand and a radio slave trigger in the other. You quickly get an accurate idea of exposure and ratios among the different flashes you are using. Given how small and inexpensive a flash meter is, it is wise to make one a part of your wedding photography kit. Sekonic light meter L358 Sekonic light meter L308s Kenko light meter KFM-1100

22. Tripods and Monopods When in dim churches, your shutter speed may dip fairly low. Since few parts of a wedding ceremony involve fast subject movement, you can usually get away with it, especially if you are using a monopod. But there is a limit to how low your shutter speed can go before camera shake ruins the image. A general guideline is a handheld image will be acceptably sharp if the shutter speed is faster than 1/focal-length. For example, for a 50mm lens, a shutter speed of 1/50th of a second or faster. For a 200mm lens, use 1/200th of a second or faster. IS/VR lenses will provide at least an extra two f-stops of practical stabilization, meaning that you can use 1/50th of a second on that 200mm lens, but there are situations where IS/VR is insufficient. A tripod provides the ultimate in stability and sharpness, but isn't as useful for weddings as for, say, landscape photography, because people at a wedding move around a lot more than mountains. The tripod stabilizes the camera, not the subject. The tripod is most useful with long lenses, e.g., when photographing from a church's choir loft. A monopod provides less stability, but is easier to move around.

23. Conclusion Any digital SLR can be an effective tool for wedding photography, if combined with a high quality high speed lens. For most photographers, three professional-quality zooms are the standard outfit. Bringing studio strobes or wireless speedlight flashes to a wedding is a big step up in complexity, but opens up a lot of creative possibilities. Remember to spend at least a few days working with bodies, lenses, and flashes before the wedding. A wedding should be the third or fourth project that you do with a new piece of gear, not the first!

24. Photographers Typical costs: Wedding photography can be broken down into four basic categories: budget, moderate, upscale and luxury. Budget photographers run from under $1,000. Moderate photographers average between $1,000 and $3,000. Upscale photographers between $3,000 and $5,000. Luxury weddings photographers: average between $5,000 and $10,000.

25. What should be included: Basic wedding photograph packages under $500 may include 1-4 hours of coverage by one photographer, proofs in an online or hard cover album, and a limited number of prints or printable images on a CD or DVD. Package prices in the $500-$1,000 range may include more hours by one photographer and an assistant, and additional prints or special albums. Packages between $1,000-$3,000 may include an additional photographer and up to 8 hours of coverage, plus special albums, parents albums or photo books, though for some photographers, the fee will cover only the photography. Packages that cost upwards of $3,000 may include unlimited coverage, up to three photographers, multiple shoot locations, or albums or photo books. Additional costs: Extras can include more hours of coverage, additional photographers, special albums or photo books, parent albums, or additional shoots (such as an engagement session).

26. Discounts: Packages are typically the most cost-effective way to purchase wedding photography services. Don't be afraid to negotiate or haggle with the photographer. Some photographers encourage pre-wedding installment payment plans at a discount. However, pre-paying for services can be risky. Consider negotiating payment installments. Weddings are often scheduled on weekends, and some photographers may offer discounts on off-days.

27. Important Things To Consider When Choosing a Wedding Photographer Experience Level - Has this person photographed other weddings? Does he/she do this for a living or for fun? Photographic Style - Are the images that you are shown, what you would like to see? There are "buzz" words flying about everywhere about photojournalism, formal, classic candid, and so on. Do you want a mixture of black and white or only colour photos? Truth in Advertising - Is this the photographer that will be photographing your wedding or will they send in whomever is available. Don't be shocked, this happens more often than you can imagine. Be certain that you know which photographer is going to be there and that you see HIS/HER work and meet with that individually face to face. Personality - Is the photographer that you meet someone that you can get along with? Is the "chemistry" there? Appearance - Ask the photographer how he/she intends to dress. Is this person well groomed? Price Range - Although, the last thing you want to do is shop by price, is this person within your budget? If not, is he or she worth the price difference? Make sure you understand what everything costs, including reprints and albums. Delivery - How long does it take to get your proofs back, thank you cards, your finished album, your bridal portrait, etc.? Offering - Whether it's a la carte or a package, do you understand what you are getting? Is there any room for changes and will it cost to do so? Sometimes the packages are fixed, sometimes they can be customized, in any case, ask. How much time will he/she spend? What if you need more time? Make sure that you know what's coming. Contract - Do you understand the contract. Is it fair? Is everything spelled out? When it comes down going to court, only what is WRITTEN really counts, not what was promised. Make sure that you have no doubts before signing. Read it ALL. What about deposits and payments? What does it say about cancellations and the photographer not being there? If the photographer protests, ask him why? This is one area NOT to take lightly. You could be disappointed for a long time. References - A personal reference is always the best and people love to talk. Get a list of references from the photographer and check them out personally. A photographer who doesn't have references or is afraid to give them to you may not be the person that you need to hire.
