PHOTOGRAPHING WEDDINGS with ONLY TWO PRIME LENSES!

Whats your GEAR SETUP for shooting weddings!? ⬇⬇⬇ COMMENT BELOW ⬇⬇⬇

[@Hi-yt4lr]

Sony a6300 and rokinon manual glass.

[@TeppoHaapoja]

@@Hi-yt4lr Nice, how do you like the Rokinon glass?

[@Hi-yt4lr]

@@TeppoHaapoja It's fine, the main downsides are just Size and no AF. But it is sharp.

[@PabloRogat]

The A team is: Two Sony A7iii with Rokinon 85mm 1,4 and the other one with the Tamron 17-28 f2,8.... BUT... i also carry Tamron 28-75, Nikon D800 with the 70-200 2,8, 105 Macro, etc, etc..... every wedding i go with a HUGE amount of gear.... i need to improve that, so i love the idea of going with just 2 primes and that´s it ...... Great Video Teppo !!

[@ktelecominc]

Pretty much 35mm and 85mm lense is the standard set up for prime duo bodies set up, and lenses to the addition is a plus!! I am using Nikon D850 and Z6 with adapter with Tamron g2 series 35mm and 85mm, plus the 24-70 g2 and 70-200 g2, as backup and wider angle and longer reach.

I know you may not think so but f2.8 zoom lenses are very awesome and yield some great results. I have used them for weddings in lowlight

[@LeafOfAutumn05]

I've done free shoots 🤣 with my 55-200mm Nikon lens 🤣 which sucks ... But I've borrowed Nikon 50mm 1.8 from a friend to cover up basically the entire wedding... I felt wrong to even charge them money 🤣 however if you'd like to see my shoots I can share them... If I had the luxury to get myself a 35mm or 50mm I'll glad just give away the 55-200mm 🤣

[@Shuttermemory]

[@Moersoe]

I'd appreciate you showing some examples you've shot with each setup while you talk about them in the video. Information would be lighter to digest that way. :)

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Keep that in mind next time my friend!

[@thetruth6444]

dude the "lazy" argument for zoom lenses is stupid for wedding photography. The couples care about you capturing the moment they dont give a fuck whether you were standing 10 metres away and zoomed in to get "the shot" or whether you moved up to be 2 metres away to get essentially the exact same shot. Its not lazy, its just being practical and dropping your ego. Clients dont know or care what lenses or focal length you are shooting on. If the photo looks nice and captures a great moment. thats all that matters (and obviously I know you know that, but just putting it in to back the argument up). But for that reason, thats why I shoot the RF 28-70mm f 2.0. You dont even really lose out that much on the aperture.

[@TeppoHaapoja]

You didnt quite get my point. Standing 50 meters away, then zooming in doesnt change your perspective. Shooting with primes forces u to move and diverisfy the perspective of your shots :) But like I said, whatever gear works for your workflow, works

[@PaintingsbyJustin]

Always good content bro. It’s pretty cool that you can feel the passion just by watching you on screen. I always hear people say that when I’m making my videos but always wondered if you can really see when someone is passionate about their craft. You confirmed it !

[@TeppoHaapoja]

So cool man, thanks for the great feedback

[@Taiwo_O]

Is 85mm better than. 50mm

[@eeemwong]

[@TeppoHaapoja]

[@christopherberry8519]

First wedding I shot I got awesome images for a friend with a 60mm macro lens on aps-c so - yeah I've been on the prime ride. That's close enough to an 85mm prime as makes no odds - but slower. Now I've got the zooms and a few primes and full frame. I shoot dance, events and even sports and the light is always terrible. 70-200 f/4 (the f/2.8 is great too - just heavier) handles nearly everything but a 50mm f/1.4 or a 35mm f/1.4 would be my best complementary lens to that for a wedding. Those 2 lenses are 90% there. What's missing is the 100mm f/2.8 macro IS - jewellery, detail, close-ups - all a part of the story in a collage.

[@desertbornproductions]

Great Video. Do you use 1.4 apertures for group shots in lower light? If the people are not all same distance away from camera doesn't it cause some out of focus subjects, even with 35mm? Thanks

[@jamesmlodynia8757]

When you say you can photograph a wedding with two prime lens do you have a second photographer, jf so then your actually using more than two and if you are the only one covering the wedding, using two prime lens and one malfunctions your screwed. My wife's daughter got married, two photographers were hired to cover the event, only one showed, the end result was not good, many of the photos that were taken were large groups in doors and because his wide lens was not wide enough, people's body parts were missing in the photos. I photographed different events for several years, i had a full time job so photography was not how I earned a living, i photographed events for people on a budget that could not afford a professional photographer, that being said i still had a variety of prime and zoom lens that would handle any shooting situation. Their were times when a 35mm was not wide enough and an 85 not long enough, so for those looking to get involved in event photography make shure you have the proper equipment, know how to use it in different lighting conditions and carry insurance as most venues require it to photograph an event.

I shot a wedding video (on my channel if anyone is curious) with 2 super cheap Lumix GX85 cameras, with a Sigma 30mm (60mm equiv.) F/1.4 and a Sigma 56mm (112mm equiv.) F/1.4! By shooting with primes, I tricked some people into thinking I was using a high end bokeh-licious full frame camera. Ended up making back more than the cost of one of those bodies in one video project, with the couple and their families were really happy with the outcome! I'm saving up for a Lumix G9 now!

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Thats awesome Shaun, post the video below!

[@frankluo230]

You can use anything you want, even one old school macro 70-180 Nikkor zoom and one pc nikkor 28f3.5 lens to shoot wedding if you desire to do so.

[@TeppoHaapoja]

So true!

[@Mhappymendy]

There are just more reasons to use zoom lens other than “being lazy”. When you use wide lenses like 24, 35 to shoot a group of people, you don’t shoot 1.4, so it looses the benefit, of course if you want to, you have the option. But what I want to say is it is really no point to talk down about using zoom lens. I know a lot of famous photographers being shooting weddings with zoom lenses, and their work are amazing!

[@OlegFedo]

I personally believe that prime lenses aren't good for reportage shoots during weddings. Yes, primes are more faster than zooms and they have better bokeh, BUT... these days ISO is powerful enough to work with 2.8 or 4 F-stops in low light conditions and what's more valuable in zooms is the fact that working with zooms you will get more genuine emotions shots because shooting process is much faster than with zooms and what's even more important IT'S more discreet.

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Good perspective. I still prefer primes but hey, its figuring out what works for you!

[@OlegFedo]

​@@TeppoHaapoja I agree, there is no right or wrong answer here, it's a question of choice. Just decided to share some point of view .)

[@patlezinc]

Not only a matter of light, but also subject isolation. With a relative far away subject (let’s say few meters with a 85), there is a huge difference between 1.2 and 2.8 ;)

[@TeppoHaapoja]

@@patlezinc Indeed!

[@OlegFedo]

​@@patlezinc this is obvious that you'll get more subject isolation with bigger aperture. It's embarrassing even to talk about that, common you guys :) What I am offering here to talk about values in photography.

[@allencrider]

I agree about your choice of using primes. If it was me doing weddings, and I was wealthy enough, I would go medium format with a couple of Fujifilm GFX 50R cameras and similar prime lenses. Weight for two cameras with 45mm f/2.5 and a 110mm f/2.0 is 3050 grams. Your Canon outfit is 3805 grams! The Fuji handles pretty fast, though the autofocus isn't as good as Canon's.

[@TeppoHaapoja]

That is a good idea for sure!

[@JV_Automotive]

its funny how photographers differ in two main groups the group one being 24mm, 35mm, 80mm and group two 28mm, 50mm, 105mm 😂

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Haha true

[@Narsuitus]

When I first started shooting weddings for a photographic studio, I was supplied with a medium format camera with a normal lens. Shot many weddings with just one lens, a flash unit, and an assistant. When I started shooting weddings for myself, I used two medium format cameras with a normal lens, a wide lens, and a telephoto lens. When I started shooting digital weddings, I used two Nikon SLRs with 35mm f/2, 85mm f/1.8, and 180mm f/2.8 Nikon manual focus lenses. Later, I upgraded and used 35mm f/1.4, 85mm f/1.4, and 180mm f/2.8 Nikon lenses. The 85mm f/1.4 was the only auto focus. For backup, I had an extra Nikon digital SLR body with three Nikon auto focus zoom lenses (14-24mm f/2.8, 28-70mm f/2.8, and 80-200mm f/2.8). I also carried a 105mm f/2.8 Nikon macro for close-ups and tight portraits.

[@rumporridge1]

That gear sounds like fun!!! Got those lenses on the Canon side. Love every one of em.

[@russellwright9961]

Man, your Nikon SLR setup is my current DSLR setup for weddings, using a D4S and a pair of D700s. I use the 35 F2, 85 1.8, the 180 2.8, and the 80-200 2.8. The 80-200 has prime lens characteristics IMO, the results are amazing. And I just love what I get from the 180, I love it so much that I will go the distance for shots with it!

[@nathanchinapen7684]

I'm just starting out. I have a cheap little Canon EOS T6 paired with a 50mm f/1.8 STM. I'm afraid to do weddings mainly because I don't trust my gear. 😂

[@ronaldmoravec2692]

My photo mentor had a side photo business employing six additional photographers. Daily job was metalgurist supervisor. He used Leica screw mounts, M3 and M2. Lenses were 50, 35, and 90 for formal portraits. 6 rolls of 36 per wedding. you are not the only one who used two 2 cameras and 2 lenses mostly. He made enough to send 3 children to expensive private college. My wedding was done with a TLR Rolliie and an occasional mutar.

Hi, thanks for great video. One question - How do you shoot outside wedding ceremonies that happening at noon? I am struggling with sharp sun light. Is there some hack? UV or ND filter? Or is it in the camera settings? Thanks in advance

Here in Portugal, brides get dressed at home. Some bedrooms have 10 square meters. You would definitely need something wider. Also some churches are quite small, also impossible to do a group shot with your gear.

[@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr]

Ha, can I really get away with only a 35mm and 85mm prime? No nifty fifty? What about us people who are investing in the RF lenses? First, I'm getting the 85/35 combo, the RF f/1.2 versions. The RF 35mm 1.2 is coming soon. I can't afford two bodies though, one R5 is already going to cost enough. I imagine it would help to have the new RF 15-35mm along with the new RF 70-200mm with a 1.4x extender perhaps. There's no blue refractive optics in the RF 50mm f/1.2 so I'm skipping that, but do you think it's important to pick up the upcoming RF 50mm 1.8 macro? It might come in handy. Also, what I would really like to have one day is a nice telephoto prime lens. The 200mm f/2.L IS USM lens, there's nothing like that on the RF system yet. But if you have six grand, lol, the 200mm f/2 probably blows away the 85mm you are using. Lol. The portraits that lens can take are magical. I think it might be the best ever portrait lens.

Tough calls, if u got the extra money why not. But I survive 90% of the time with the 35 / 85. Sometimes the 15-35 is handy for the dance floor or group shots.

[@planetdee3587]

I feel like with so many different ways to shoot a wedding or event, it is hard to decide on what we want. It is all about personal taste in photos (unless the lighting or space cause you to require a specific lens). On one hand the primes give the great shallow depth. On the other hand a nice zoom means you could use one body (with a backup put away if you need it) and just have the camera in your hand with no additional things to hold you back from getting in some flexing positions.

[@Narsuitus]

My recent weddings have been shot with two Fuji X mirrorless bodies with Fuji 16-55mm f/2.8, Fuji 50-140mm f/2.8, and Zeiss 12mm f/2.8 lenses. All auto focus. For backup or video, I have an extra Fuji X mirrorless body with 16mm f/1.4, 23mm f/1.4, and 56mm f/1.2 Fuji lenses plus a 12mm Rokinon lens. All, except the Rokinon, are auto focus.

[@PaulKentSkates]

Sigma makes really good glass for those crop bodies. I have a 16mm 1.4 which is honestly better than a lot of my full frame lenses. (It's an equivalent to a 24mm Feild if view). I would maybe go with a super fast 50-55mm lens intended for crop that has decent autofocus I'd definitely look at the Sigma 56mm f1.4 DC DN lens. It's great in low light, gives an equivalent image to a full frame 85mm f2.1 with autofocus and maybe the 16mm or the 30mm would pair nicely. If you are looking to stick with primes for you a6xxx series camera. (I have had good results with my 18-105mm f4, but it's not good if you need a shallow depth of field) .

@@PaulKentSkatesThank you, I will research those lenses.

@@Hi-yt4lr That sigma 16mm is a beast! I have it and the 56mm for my sony aps-c. I rarely use anything other than those two lenses.

The one time where I would have preferred zoom lenses is when I shot at a church that had very restricted rules about where the photographer could stand so I was limited with where I could be and how much zooming with my feet I could do. Luckily I did have zoom lenses at that time but if I didn't I may not have been able to get some of the shots I did.
