One of the questions that I do not hear from my clients when they are interviewing me is about equipment. I would say that roughly 95% of my perspective client never ask about equipment, type or quantity that is brought to the wedding, I always bring up that question and try to educate them to ask other photographers in their interviews.Brand of equipment is not what they should ask but quantity - how many bodies and other equipment will be at the wedding. In college a photography teacher of mine would say “ It’s not the camera but the eye behind the camera” this will always be a true statement, equipment is tool for the photographer and a personal brand prefrence, learning to use the perticular camera well, a photographer uses the camera as an extension of his eye to capture images that others do not see – this is the difference between a hobbist and a professional. Below is a list of my equipment bag that I bring to all my weddings.
