We are in agreement that no photography equipment can replace knowledge and skill. Ultimately, the photographer is the one who is responsible for the images that are produced. It is a fact that a skilled photographer can take more visually pleasing pictures with an iPhone then an amateur can with the best Digital SLR available. That being said, photography equipment is a tool, and in the right hands, it can make all the difference and open of many creative avenues not normally available without it. Here is our (ever-growing) list of equipment.
Our studio uses extremely low light sensitive cameras, which are crucial to making sure that we are able to capture beautiful images of your wedding, no matter the restrictions put in place on us by the venues, or the technical difficulties we experience from time to time due to problematic lighting.
1. Canon 5D Mark III
2. Canon 5D Mark II
We are equipped with Professional “L” Lenses that can capture your wedding from every angle. These lenses provide the best sharpness, color, and contrast over any other lenses in the photographic industry. We shoot with a variety of professional prime (fixed focal length) lenses, and we have one telephoto zoom. Prime lenses generally provide much better image quality then standard zoom lenses, and in trained hands, are far superior then a standard zoom lens (the exception being the 70-200, which shoots like a prime lens).
1. Canon 35mm F/1.4L Professional Wide Angle Lens
2. Canon 50mm F/1.2L Professional Lens
2. Canon 85mm F/1.2L II Professional Medium Telephoto Lens
