What Type of Equipment We Use

Our philosophy is to get the shot correct in the camera.  Many photographers will simply make the photos “correct” in their editing software. We like to make sure the photos are correct the first time and if it needs a little bit of help we will enhance it later after the shoot.  We don’t use software as a crutch for having a lack of proper equipment.  It’s one of our pet peeves.

Here is a short list of what we bring on weddings and most shoots.  Some of the gear gets more use than the others, but we always like to be prepared and have backups of everything.

Nikon D700 (Best of the Best)

Nikon D300 (Backup)
