The Equipment We Use: Telephoto Lenses
Back again with some more information on the equipment that Bill and I use when we cover weddings. Like I’ve mentioned before, we have been doing wedding photography in Northern Colorado for some time now, so we’ve got some preferences for equipment and gear we use for each shoot.
Previously we discussed the digital cameras we use for wedding photography. Here we’ll discuss some other equipment we use for taking wedding photographs.
Telephoto Lenses
We use Nikon lenses because of their consistency and reliability. Bill and I both have strong backgrounds in newspaper, magazine, and sports photography, so we own several telephoto lenses. These allow us to capture close up photos from a long distance.
In other words, when we’re at your wedding, we won’t run up to you or your guests and stick our cameras in your face. I’m sure you’ve seen those guys. We will help you pose for formal portraits, but during the rest of your wedding celebration, we will stay out of the way. Your wedding is about you, not about us.
We’ll have one last bit of information (at least for now) on our gear in a future post. But in the meantime, we encourage you to view our wedding photography gallery to sample the quality we bring to our wedding coverage. You can also sample the numerous wedding celebration photos on our blog.
