Hi guys!
I'm Joy welcome to my channel, and today I'm going to be walking you guys through what
is in my camera bag. and I'm going to be showing you my smaller bag that I take on engagement
sessions and smaller portrait sessions as well as what I bring to weddings.
so I'm excited!
Ok, so first off, I carry all of my gear on a wedding day in a pelican case.
I can give you guys all the links and stuff down below as well, so don't worry if I go
really quickly.
Everything is going to be in the information section below.
so, for smaller portrait sessions, use this camera bag, and this is a really awesome bag
because it can store a ton of stuff and it also coverts into a backpack, so the straps
are convertible.
For my Camera Body, I currently shoot on the nikon d610 and I have another one of these
but I'm using it to film this video.
So I use camera bodies while photographing a wedding day, and to accomplish that, I have
what's called the hold fast strap.
This is the Moneymaker by Hold fast.
And I can show you what it looks like on.
Next, I'm going to show you guys the lenses that I use during an average wedding day,
or portrait session.
Some of these lenses I don't use very often.
For instance, the 70-200 I've probably used once or twice this entire wedding season.
It's not my favorite lens and it's very heavy, but you never know when you're going to be
stuck in the back of a dark church and you're not allowed to go past a certain point when
you're photographing the ceremony, so this is really useful to have, but it's not something
I use very often.
A lens that I do use very often is this Nikon 50mm 1.4.
This was actually one of the first lenses that I purchased when I got into photography
and it's still with me.
It's fantastic and it's very versatile.
And it's a prime.
I have the 60mm 2.8 Macro lens and this for details, photographing rings and stuff like
that.
We have the 85mm 1.4.
This is my work horse.
This is on one of my camera bodies 99% of a wedding day and a portrait session.
It's goregous.
I love what it produces.
It's my perfect style.
Next we have the nikon 70 to...sorry!
hah!
Next we have the Nikon 24-70.
This is super versitle.
Its fantastic for family portraits, really big portraits when Ijust need a really wide
angle, and yeah... that's what we got.
Then for, memory cards, I use these kind of cases.
They are water-tight and shock proof and they hold 4 SD cards each.
So Iike these guys a lot.
I also have lens cleaning wipes always in my bag by Zeiss.
Zeiss is the best, it's the only thing I've ever used on my lenses, and um- they're just
fantastic.
You can get them in a 500 pack on amazon.
And it's the best deal if you buy in bulk so that's what I do.
For stobes I use the nikon sb-910.
This is my favorite flash.
I have 3 of these.
I use pocketwizards.
I have the mini and the t-flex.
I'll link of this information below, um, but pocketwizard is the way to go.
I highly recommend them.
One other item that I keep inside of my gear bag is this video light.
It's fantastic.
You can adjust the temperature.
Um, there's a lot of custumization and this is just really great when you may not want
to use the flash or you just need a little more flexibility.
Last but not least, I have hoya close up filters.
I use close up filters for really intimate, tight portraits of my bride and groom to get
a soft, film look and I also use them when I'm photographing details, shoes, items close
up especially early on in a wedding day.
OK, guys!
That's all that I have for you today!
This is all my lenses, my camera bodies, my flashes, and I hope that you enjoyed it and
you got something out of it.
Again, links down below, if you want to know how I use any of this gear or have any questions
for me about why I chose these specific pieces, please let me know!
I'd be happy to make you guys some videos in response to that.
Thank you guys so much for watching!
I'll see you next time.
