What's In The Bag?

It’s Not Just the Camera — It’s the Photographer Behind It

Saying to a professional photographer, "That’s a great photo—what kind of camera do you use?" is a bit like saying to a chef, "That was a delicious meal—what kind of oven do you have?" The truth is, even the best and most expensive photography equipment can’t make someone a great photographer. Skill, experience, timing, and creative vision matter far more.

That said, using high-end professional gear does make a noticeable difference in image quality—and we invest heavily in that quality. Just as importantly, we bring a full set of backup gear to every wedding. Accidents happen. Whether a camera gets broken or a flash gets dropped, we’re always prepared to pivot quickly. That’s why we carry a dedicated backup camera bag at all times during both the ceremony and the reception.

Our equipment list keeps growing year after year. I’ve personally transitioned from Canon to Sony’s mirrorless system for most of my wedding work. If you're curious about why I made the switch, here’s an insightful read:

That said, my trusted Canon 5D Mark III bodies still travel with me—sometimes even handed off to younger reception guests to snap some super fun shots for the couple!

Below is a list of our gear (excluding studio lighting), nearly all of which we bring to our full-day wedding coverages to ensure we’re prepared for anything and everything.
