Wedding Photography and Videography Equipment

My Wedding Photography and Video Equipment and gear are kept to a minimum for my business, making it much easier to move and travel with.  Anything that isn't used is sold after 3 to 6 months, as I prefer to keep it for a bit, in case I change my mind, haha!  However, to be upfront, certain equipment is needed for wedding photography. 

Both Photography and Video

When I’m working at a wedding solo, I need to switch between photos and video quickly. My setup lets me do this with ease. My gear is listed below. Sometimes I film with two cameras, so I use the camera I operate on a monopod and the second camera filming wide at 35mm on a tripod, so it is static.

1. Nikon Z6 camera bodies x2

2. Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 S

3. Nikkor Z 85mm f/1.8 S

4. Yongnuo flashes x3

5. Manfrotto Monopod

6. Manfrotto Tripod

7. Sony Audio Recorders x5

8. Rode Mics x2

Wedding Photography Equipment

I keep equipment to a minimum and use minimalist gear for my business, making it much easier to move and travel.  To be upfront there needs to be certain equipment is needed for photography. 

List

1. Nikon Z6 x2 camera bodies

2. Nikkor Z 85mm f/1.8 S lens

3. Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 S lens

4. Yongnuo flashes

Now, I’m not saying this is the best gear, but it ticks all my boxes bar a couple that I can live without.  This is always expanding and growing, as you’d expect, so there needs to be some testing of new gear and equipment, which is why I have my YouTube channel. 

Wedding Videography Equipment

I use the same gear with some additions for video. Now, I’m not saying this is the best gear, but it ticks all my boxes bar a couple that I can live without.  My equipment list is always expanding and growing, as you’d expect, so there needs to be some testing of new gear and equipment, which is why I have my YouTube channel.

1. Nikon Z6 2x camera bodies

2. Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.8 S

3. Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 S

4. Rode Mics 2x

5. Sony Audio Recorders 5x

Wedding Photography Editing

I use Adobe Lightroom for editing wedding photography, and I find this ideal software for this. I can catalogue and batch edit images with great ease. Some minor tweaks can be done in Adobe Photoshop, but most if not 99%, can be accomplished in LR. Both software I have been using for years. I can very easily export photos to JPEG format for saving onto the USB or emailing customers.

Post Production

1. Full Adobe Software Suite, including Photoshop, Lightroom and Premiere Pro

Hardware

1. iMac Silicon M1 computer with 16 gb Ram

2. Various external Hard Drives with two large backup drives, one in the office and one out of my home office.
