What is the best lens to buy for Nikon d7000 wedding photography?

This girl is using D7000 for follow-up shooting. My current configuration is 18-105 kit; 50 1.8G; and an external flash (YN467 with TTL automatic metering) and a handle. In addition, I currently plan to have 11 I bought a 14-24 2.8G before.

Let me tell you about my experience with photography——

I usually follow brides, first of all, I use more close-ups of the makeup process in the morning, and I use large-aperture micro lenses. It helps a lot. You can also take photos of details of wedding shoes and rings. A little creativity can be very effective. The light in the morning is relatively poor, especially in winter, so if you can, use as wide an aperture as possible, and the D7K body is not Anti-shake, the high performance of the G head can be seen; the section where the groom enters the door will be quite chaotic, and the fixed focus lens needs to be put away to change the focus. The set of heads I used does not feel enough now, because the bride’s room is generally not too big. A good wide angle is necessary. In addition, as a C-frame model, the D7K’s depth of field performance is average, and it is difficult to produce more impactful images with the lens. The same applies to group photos;

The lens is also sufficient for outdoor scenes. Even half-body can be blurred when zoomed in at a wide aperture. The makeup looks great. Many people say that 70-200 would be better if you have the funds, but I don’t consider it at the moment. The first is more important. If you are like me and work alone, you will be burdened if you bring too much. The second is not to take wedding photos. , too much panoramic view is meaningless;

The marriage ceremony in the evening is more complicated (the custom here in Nanjing is to have dinner with dinner, but in the north it seems to be a banquet at noon, I don’t know where you are from) . . ) Be sure to arrive early in the evening to see how the wedding company’s lighting is arranged, and find a place to stand; then take some photos of the venue layout and the couple’s welcome, and look at the hotel lighting. If it doesn’t work, you have to pretend at this time. Flashed outside. . At the wedding banquet, I still use a pullover. I am from a suburb of Nanjing, and the local hotels are generally not big. There is no need and no time to use the telephoto lens. The headset is available in all focal lengths, so you can get a high film rate without much movement on the field without affecting other staff.

About the handle, I think it looks domineering, but it’s really heavy! ! Maybe it’s because I’m a girl and my hands feel sore after a scene. . . In fact, when I shoot for about 600P a day, one battery is enough, so the handle is often empty just to show off! For reference~ But you should bring an extra battery in your bag for emergencies.

I saw a post on the forum that said it very well. Follow-up shooting depends on equipment, but it is not necessary to pursue equipment. What is important is the head behind the camera. You know~~A sentence from a senior I have always followed these words: learn to do subtraction. This depends on personal understanding. . .
