This is the flashes I use on site at weddings! The attachable fill flash on the front really helps with fill light too! Save your money on Profoto flashes with this workhorse!

This is my main body I use for work! It’s not exactly a trade off on weight because the lenses are still heavy but it does GREAT in low light!
Canon EOS R5 Mark II Mirrorless Camera

Same sentiments as the 35mm. Great prime lens without the weight of the Red ring series as I call it!
Canon RF 85mm f/2 Macro IS STM Lens
 
Theresa Matherne profile picture
This is it for quick direct flash editorial shots! Day or night during reception, I love it! Hot shoe adapter becomes the transmitter so if you want to take the flash off camera, just pull it off bc guess what?!? Flash magnetizes to the adapter. It’s...

Workhorse lens! 100/100! It hardly ever comes off my camera on wedding day, versatile is an understatement! Is it heavy? Sure, but we are used to it by now.

I love this flash! I use for weddings, on my Fuji for personal use and even on my film cameras. Magnetic base also doubles a transmitter for off camera. Truly impressed by this! I have one for my canon cameras too!

My canon AE-1 is still too legit to quit. Seriously, it’s as old as my great grandfather and still produces beautiful 35mm film. If you ever were interested in film, this is a good one!

This is my medium format film camera I use. They are hard to find so you better scoop this up before it’s gone. I know everyone loves the beloved contax but this just works for me. Plus you can still get parts for this unlike contax!

DO use this for personal use! Especially if you have old negatives you want to digitize. DO NOT try to use this as a scanner for your professional work, trust the pros or make a darkroom

After 3 months, my lab mails all my film negatives back to me and I store them here! It’s fun to run them through the Kodak scanner at home to see the difference or just make additional prints!
