The Best Cameras and Lenses for Wedding Photography
by Gaurav Gupta Marketing HeadAny professional and dedicated
photographer will describe you that the camera body you happen to use matters
significantly less than the lens. However, it is still helpful to note which
are the best cameras for wedding photography specifically, as shutter speed and
ISO requirements are pretty important when shooting in potentially low-light
and fast-moving environments.
While this list is not
all-encompassing, it is a good starting point for anyone wants to know what are
some of the best full frame cameras, using for their next professional wedding photography shoot. Hesitant to fork over the
heavy price tag on a camera or lens that you’re not familiar with.
Nikon D7200 – It is a high performing and low-cost option for the
Nikon crowd. Even though it happens to be a DX (crop) sensor, the first-rate
frame rate and good ISO range make this a strong option for a beginner or
intermediate wedding photographer.
Canon 6D – An affordable option that is capable of producing
quality images in low light. While it is able to keep up with the 5D Mark III
in this regard, it can’t hold up to the AF of the 5D Mark III which can be a
pain point for wedding photographers.
Nikon D750 – This incredibly versatile and powerful camera body is
a step up from the D7200, both in terms of megapixels, frame rate, and ISO. Its
price point is still reasonable, while enabling the photographer pro-level
functionality.
Canon 5D Mark III – Great in low light, strong AutoFocus, coupled
with the ability to be weather sealed make this camera a wedding photographers
dream. While it’s price point is above that of the 6D, the bang is worth the
buck.
Canon 5DSR – This Canon broke new ground with its insanely high 50
megapixel CMOS sensor. Let’s be clear, the vast majority of wedding
photographers have no need for this kind of resolution. Having said that, with
the proper lens attached, this camera is capable of some pretty stunning
results.
Nikon D810 – This is the finest proficient-level Nikon camera for
the wedding photography. With the hefty price tag you get 36 megapixels, insane
ISO range, and just all-around solid performance. The only thing you lose out
on in frame rate in comparison with the D750.
The Best Lenses for Wedding Photography
35mm f/1.4
Canon 35mm f/1.4, is an L-series
professional lens with an aspherical element. While other L-series lenses excel
at capturing width, the 35 lens measures closely to what the eye naturally
sees, from periphery to periphery. The Nikon equivalent 35mm f/1.4 is a
comparably exceptional low-light lens that is perfect for capturing the
subtleties in portrait photography.
50mm f/1.2 – 1.4
Canon 50mm f/1.2 lens gives the
versatility to shoot in a wide variety of conditions. The f/1.2 and Nikon 50mm
f/1.4 lenses are designed to capture crystal-clear pictures regardless of the
lighting, allowing for high-quality shots in low-lighting conditions without a
flash.
70-200 f/2.8
Every wedding photographer needs
the Canon 70-200 f/2.8, or the Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 lens on hand, Jasmine
believes. The price can be daunting. This lens is essential because wedding
photographers often find themselves shooting a ceremony in a poorly-lit church.
To get the desired results from a respectable distance, the best wedding photographer needs a lens
that has high-quality zoom lenses.
85mm f/1.2 – 1.8
Both the Nikon 85mm f/1.4 and the
Canon 85mm f/1.2 are weighty. Many photographers defy making use of the 85mm as
of the comprehensive time it uses to take to focus. Comparably, the newer Nikon
85mm f/1.8 is lighter, cheaper, and is one of the sharpest mid-range primes
that Nikon has released in a long time.
100mm Macro f/2.8
