An 85mm and 35mm are the perfect set-up for weddings

@djovak3236 3 жыл бұрын

24mm is must :) But in cases you dont require 24mm, 35mm is perfect

@clintondoyle 3 жыл бұрын

i agree - i use 35mm and 90 mm macro - u dont need anything else - plus i only take 1 camera

@alerajendra 3 жыл бұрын

When there is tight space just go with 24mm and 50mm , when u hav more space 35mm and 85mm

@BrianGayAnglingImages 4 жыл бұрын

Good call. I loved using just two primes when I used to shoot weddings. My faves were the 35 1.4 the 85 1.2 and the 200 f2 the latter awesome for candid distance subject isolation. I also used to carry the 14 mm 2.8 as well.

@jamesryan1939 4 жыл бұрын

I have moved to mostly a 35mm - 85mm combo and still take 50mm 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8. The 70-200 2.8 can really crush a distracting background and pull in distant objects if needed. Great video, little over the top with the hipster theme.

@matthewmerz 4 жыл бұрын

Such great stuff, and you are a great teacher! I rarely shoot any events/weddings, but the very few I have done, I feel like I’ve always just grabbed a 70-200 to feel safe, but I love how you utilize all primes. I am going to try that next time!

The two lenses I use for events are the 24mm for groups and 50mm for details and portraits. I definitely could do most events with those two lenses.

I'm getting back into photography after 25 years. Video is like learning a new whole language. At weddings, we did everything with 24-50mm lens & I had zoom too that I didn't use too much. I don't remember the length. Carried 2 cameras with me, always had an old one in a car. I had it so why not? Excellent video. I use to develop my own film too.

@peterverheyen1795 2 жыл бұрын

Starting to do some paid shoots and the 35 + 85 combo works like a charm. Great focal lengths to shoot. I do have to invest in a second camera body, not only as a backup but also for an increase of flexibility. Swapping lenses can be a drag and you may miss a moment or two.

Used cameras can be a great budget solution. :) That's the route I took.

Thanks for sharing your process. I prefer a zoom primarily the 70-200 since what venues I've shot are smaller and don't allow for a lot of movement. It also allows me to minimize lens changes. I also don't have the budget for that many L primes. Love the look that you produce.

You MUST be my dad, because you knew EXACTLY what's going on in my life, and I had no idea! I've booked my first wedding for later this year, and was contemplating going with two DSLRs and only primes. I wasn't sure if that was a great idea or, if it was, how best to make it work. This was exactly what I needed. I feel a lot more confident with my plan, kinda impressed with my own ingenuity, and more prepared on how to make it work beautifully. Thank you pops!! (*disclaimer, you look at least a decade younger than me, so getting to call anyone else 'dad' is a salve to my sensitive ego :D)

Been using a pair of bodies with different prime lenses just about forever. However, I like the Optech Dual Harness because of the extra security of the two points of attachment for each camera. I have recently switched to Sony APSC Mirrorless cameras with 35mm f/1.8 and 85mm f/1.8 lenses...

Yeah, a secondary/backup camera is almost a must/important for pro works, especially shooting with primes only. I wasn't even a pro, but when I started out four decades ago to cover events, I used three cameras (Nikon F2A, FE2 & Hasselblad 500 C/M). Back in the dark age of digital, I had Nikon D3, D300 & Canon 5D Mk II with two sets (Canon & Nikon) lens trinity. In addition to backup to backup as best practice, it is much easier to switch focal length (and/or ASA/ISO with film) with multiple cameras.

@PhilbertWilliams 4 жыл бұрын

I really appreciate this. I use two bodies as well but I really want to invest in a wider prime as I only have two lenses right now; 28-75 tamron and an 85mm 1.8.. looking at getting a 35mm and 55mm 1.8 soon. I just love the vibe you get from walking back and forth looking for that dreamy shot with my 85.. i rather zoom with my feet.. i feel accomplished after getting that shot lol.
