What equipment is used for professional wedding shooting?

Except for a few people who choose to hold weddings outdoors, most weddings are held in indoor environments such as hotels. Although there will be some lights at the wedding scene, the light is often weak, and there are some links to create a romantic atmosphere. The use of candlelight at the wedding will also form a dark environment. Therefore, if you want to take an ideal photo, a good external flash is an essential equipment for wedding photography.

★ The high sensitivity of the camera must be high enough and practical.

It stands to reason that with an external flash, we basically don't need too high sensitivity. But experienced photographers know that sometimes, using high sensitivity to capture images in low light will have a more touching scene atmosphere and be more touching. So if you can choose a fuselage, try to choose a fuselage with higher sensitivity and better imaging under high sensitivity.

★ Try to use a large-caliber lens.

In the dark environment, the larger the aperture of the lens, the faster the shutter speed can be, so as to ensure the clarity of imaging. Not only that, a large aperture can bring a shallower depth of field, and this blurred background can highlight the protagonist at the wedding and create a romantic atmosphere. So when choosing a lens, try to choose a large-caliber lens.

★ The focusing performance of the device combination is better.

Wedding photography is a great test for the focusing ability of the fuselage and lens. Many devices perform well in full light, but as soon as they enter the dark environment, the lens begins to "pull the bellows". Therefore, try to choose one with an ultrasonic motor on the lens and one with strong focusing ability on the fuselage.

★ Try to use two fuselage, and implement the configuration of "one machine and one mirror".

The wedding is carried out according to the predetermined process and timetable, and neither the couple nor the master of ceremonies will stop because the photographer did not capture a certain shot. Therefore, in the whole wedding photography process, there is generally no extra time to change the lens for us. Moreover, during the wedding, the position of the couple will change constantly, and the shooting scene will also change constantly, requiring different focal lengths such as wide angle, medium focus and even telephoto. Therefore, only one camera is not enough. You'd better use a spare camera for the wedding. The two cameras are equipped with lenses with different focal lengths, and different lenses are used in different scenes to ensure that no link is missed. If the conditions are limited, photographers should at least choose enough wide-angle and medium-telephoto lenses to facilitate shooting at different positions and angles.

★ What is the best focal length for a wedding?

In wedding photography, we should not only use a wide angle to show the excitement and vastness of the wedding scene, but also use a telephoto lens to shoot close-ups, restore the happy smiles on the faces of newcomers and relatives and friends, and also use a medium focus to reflect some relations between people and the environment. So it can be said that the focal length between 24 mm and 200 mm is suitable for wedding photography.

Knowing the characteristics of wedding photography, you basically know how to choose equipment. In fact, wedding photography equipment is not very demanding on the fuselage, with good performance and poor usability. Of course, if you want to be reliable, you still need to choose some reliable and safe models, and the requirements for equipment must also be taken into account, such as the requirements for high sensitivity. After all, many times the wedding scene is dimly lit, and the flash may destroy the sense of the scene. To shoot with a live light requires a high sense of the fuselage. At the same time, high sensitivity is also a necessary way to improve the shutter speed when the aperture is not enough.
