Take a look at everything I bring to a wedding as a wedding photographer. Wedding days require a lot of equipment and a lot of back up equipment. There are some fun things I like to use on a wedding day as well!

Gear
My main camera body and work horse of a camera. On point every time.

My second and back up camera body on wedding days

Go to flash! Bring 3 of these on a wedding day

My favorite memory cards to use for a wedding day. 64 GB is the perfect size for me and I switch them out frequently during the wedding day. I have my cameras set to write to the SD card as the main card

Best ones to use for my back up card! I like go use larger cF Express cards for my back up copy and use one throughout the entire wedding day

Z 35mm f/1.8 S question : r/nikon_Zseries
Produces the BEST portraits. The bokeh is just so good. I keep this lens on my Nikon Z8 for the wedding day
NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.8 S
I like to pop this one on my Nikon Z6ii during the ceremony. The zoom offers great flexibility.
NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S
Do I use this every wedding… no. Do I bring it to every wedding… yes. You never know when you’ll need to extra length. PLUS I find sometimes shooting cocktail hour with this lens allows you to get more natural interactions because people don’t always...
NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S
