These are some of the lenses and gear I use while shooting a wedding. I’m by no means saying that this is what you NEED but it’s what I use and what has worked for me. There are so many options out there so I thought I’d share what has been useful to me.
I shoot with Canon gear primarily but I believe it’s completely up to personal preference on what brand you decide to use.
Gear mentioned in the video
Canon 50mm 1.8
Canon 50mm 1.4
Canon 85mm 1.8
Canon 135mm L 2.0
Tamron 24-70mm 2.8
Yonguo YN560 IV Speedlight
Yongnuo YN-560-TX Flash Controller

Hi! Are you South African?
What "story" are you attempting to "tell" when you photograph a wedding? You're paid to photograph the day of a scripted ceremony. Don't make it out to be more (or less) than it is.
Awesome content and a great insight into your gear
What do u use for macro?
Should use more lighting on your video!
Is that Tamron 24-70mm lens an image stabilized lens?
The only thing missing from this presentation was sample images for each lens.Otherwise, it was intensely educational for me. Thank you so much!
Would i be able to use a Canon 344B006 EF 24-105mm f/4.0 L IS USM Lens for weddings?
You have 60D or 6d?
Hey Sheldon, I'd love to see how you setup the speedlights for low light situations during the actual day of wedding!
I am planning to get Tamron 70-200 mm G2 f2.8. But I have D3300 apsc sensor camera. As I need a zoom for low light will the f2.8 on apsc become f4?
I’m a student, so I want to spend my money as smart as possible. I also want to shoot weddings with my Nikons D750. I also want buy the Tamron 24-70. Do you think the G2 is worth the money or should I buy the old version and save the money to buy the 70-200 in the future?
Where can I rent equipment ?

may i know which lens can shoot great picture for indoor wedding ceremony, esp at low light. Im using 70D
How do you micro-adjust your lens ?
It would of been great if you showed examples of each lense…. thanks for the info it was helpfull.
Love finding South Africans on YouTube! Yes china!
You clumsy as hell bro … you need to shoot using a tripod lol …
I guess you confuse distortion with perspective. When you get 'distortion' photographing people with a 16 mm, it's because you are too close, as the minimal focal distance allows you to.
If you shoot that Tamron at 35mm so much why don't you just buy the Sigma 35mm 1.4?
Hey can you recommend a lens that is good for nikon D5100 whent it comes to wed photography?
Same setup here. cheers!
And whats the cam?
Informative. Thx. 70-200 in the future?
Love your stuff! What do you use to swap between lenses at weddings – I find it quite cumbersome to dip into a bag and keep swapping for the right shot. Do you use a strap or belt?
can u plz do a video on how to shoot that intro like u pls
This was so helpful omg !
which canon you use
85mm.. best on full or crop frame?
Hello 🙂
First, congratulations on the awesome videos! I've seen them all :p
I just have kind of a question. So, I have a Canon 100D and I would like to buy another lens just to keep practicing my shots but I'm kinda indecisive on which one to go since I have a APS-C sensor. I was kinda thinking on going for a 35mm because of the crop (to resemble a 50mm) but since I am a beginner I'm really just confused xD
If it was you, which one would you go for?
Thanks, and keep going!
Nice video. I use to have 50mm 1.4 is well send it back AF doesn't work properly. So I get 50mm 1.8 and upgrade to 50mm 1.8STM last year.
Good stuff man 😎 I have also the Tamron 24-70. Love it
