***Henry Chen reveals every piece of wedding photography equipment that he keeps in his camera bags, why he has selected them and in what situations they are used.***
***OVERVIEW***
I often get asked what wedding photography equipment is in my camera bag, so in this video, I’m going to share just that! I’ll not only reveal what is inside my camera bags but also the brand of bags I use and why they’ve proved both reliable and practical over many years.
We’ll then get into the details of what’s inside, including my Canon 5D Mark III bodies that have survived hundreds of wedding and trips all over the world.
I’ll also reveal my go-to lenses, including the Canon 24-70mm 2.8L, the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS and the Canon 100mm f/2.8L IS Macro lens, as well as why they’re with me each and every wedding I shoot.
When it comes to lighting, we’ll chat about the situations in which I use my monopod with a Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT and my Yuongnuo video light, then discuss all the accessories I keep in my camera bags.
From extra batteries to CF cards, snacks and a portable flash diffuser, I’ll share with you absolutely every piece of wedding photography equipment that I keep in my camera bags and provide links if you’d like to purchase your own.

Thank you Henry, love your videos as they all helped me with some new ideas. Almost sold my 24-70 for some primes then saw your 24-70 mm. Persian wedding episode, so I took it off the market. Again thank you.
Sir r uh ever change your sensors of 5d ?
Thanks for the great video. After shooting weddings for 6 years with a 28-135 kit lens on a 50d then later a 6d, I bought my first L lens. 24-70 2.8 ii in June 2016. Now I shoot with a 5d Mk 4 and 2 – 6d bodies. Getting ready shots 35mm 1.4 and 85mm 1.2. Ceremony 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8. Reception all of them. Details 100mm 2.8 macro. 2 – canon flashes like yours. Think Tank Airport Security 2.0 and Urban disguise 6.0. Spider holster.
The Airport Essentials has a cable lock built in one of the reasons I bought it.
I'd buy the Canon 24-70mm 2.8mm L lens if I thought that it was faster focus than the Tamron, even though it's more expensive, because I was impressed with the speed of focus when I was testing it in the store, but there was no Tamron for me to try. It's such a famous lens.
Great video Henry.
can you share where you bought the clips for your flashes? Such a good idea.
I am rocking the think tank street walker hard drive. Love the all black design of the airport though. Thanks for sharing this.
