In all honestly, this lens rarely leaves my camera body because I LOVE it THAT much!! Especially for portraits. I will use this one for as many wedding photos that I can. The bokeh and creamy background in the depth of field of my images while using ...
This is a great lens to have in your bag for weddings because it can get those amazing quality close ups of the detail images like weddings rings, invitation, shoes, jewelry, etc. It doubles as a great portrait lens also if you don't have a 85mm or 1...
As much as I love using my 85mm sigma art, my 50mm is my next go-to for portraits and weddings. This lens allows me to be closer to my subject but still get a beautiful background blur. You need this lens in your bag for every session for sure! They ...
I keep this wide angle lens as a back up lens in my everyday bag. My everyday bag accompanies me to every session and wedding. It really comes in handy in tight spaces when I can't use my 50mm and it's perfect to capture beautiful landscapes and full...

This is a very recent investment purchase for my photography business as of May 2024 to assist me at weddings. Let me say, I just received it and used it for the first time at my first wedding of the year, I only wish I would have made this purchase...
I use to use the yonguno brand of speed lights but found the godox brand to be so much better!! You can't photograph weddings without having some type of additional light source such as these.
I love the magmod brand and this magsphere diffuser to attach to my speed lights.
If you want to boost your creativity, I'd HIGHLY recommend adding a few fun filters to your lens and gear collection. I recently purchased the crystal, pinhole, and starburst filters. They are so fun to use and create the coolest effects to your ima...
