Professional wedding photographer's Canon camera bodies and L-series prime lenses arranged on a dark wood table
Michael Anthony Photography

For Photographers

Gear reviews, lighting, and the business of wedding photography, from fifteen years and 200+ international awards behind the camera. Written for other photographers.

Field Notes

Honest reviews, from real weddings

No spec-sheet regurgitation. These are the tools I actually carry, tested where it counts: on a wedding day, when the moment will not wait. If you want the business and craft behind the gear, that is what I teach at Elevate.
