It’s not a cheap deal having the right gear to shoot a wedding, sure you could do it with a disposable camera or even splash out on a cheap point and shoot digital camera, you can pick them up for less than £100 these days. Both of these options would give you photos at the end of the day and if you went a step further and gave either of these two cameras to a professional photographer some of the shots would even be quite nice, however if you want to do justice to this very special day your going to have to shell out quite a bit more than £100.
Since the middle of last year we’ve invested over £10,000 in top end photography equipment to enable us to capure wedding days in a way that does them justice. This means having several camera bodies per photographer, a selection of top quality lens that are suitable for low light conditions, multiple external flashes, light stands, reflectors, tons of flash memory and backup devices and thats before we even get to the post prcessing stage. Obviously its also no good just having one of each of these pieces of vital kit as things do occasionally malfunction or just plain stop working so backup equipment has also been a large part of our investment.
The latest addition to the Boundless Photos equipment bag is this lovely 70-200 F2.8 IS L lens from Canon. A nice wide aperture will allow us to get shots in even the darkest of churches, the IS (Image Stabalisation) will keep the images sharp and in focus when shooting hand held and the L signifies it as one of Canons best professional lenses and ensures photos with beautiful vivid colours.
