Gear / Equipment for photographers
Looking for gear recommendations? Here are some of our suggestions!
Cameras + lenses
The Nikon Z8 is our go-to camera body for almost every session, wedding, or elopement.
The nifty fifty is a super versatile lens. 50mm is a great focal length for portraits & wedding ceremonies.
The 35mm is our favorite lens for indoors, because the focal length is great for tighter spaces & wide aperture is perfect for low lighting.
This is probably our most-used lens! Being able to zoom between 24-70mm is super useful, especially during high-intensity shoots like weddings and proposals.
The 70-200mm is SUCH a fun lens to use. A longer focal length compresses your foreground/background, which looks amazing when shooting in beautiful landscapes.
The Nikon Z30 is a great place to start if you’re just getting into photography.
Other photography gear
These universal lens covers have been a life-saver recently! We always lose lens caps, so it’s nice to have some that fit any of our lenses.
We have a couple of these backpacks, and they’ve held up really well for over a year! I love that they don’t have a million different compartments like some backpacks do.
This Geekoto carbon fiber tripod is our go-to for all of our self portraits & slow-shutter pictures.
Lighting Equipment
This is our primary light for in-studio sessions and for group photos at weddings! We pair it with a 65″ reflector/diffuser, which makes the light super soft.
This umbrella reflector is super easy to set up, and it makes the light is SO soft.
We use a heaver duty c-stand instead of the lightweight light stands because of the weight of the strobe & size of the umbrella. We also bought wheels for this c-stand to be able to move it around easily!
