WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Option 1 - Nikon Z 7 II with FTZ Adaptor, Nikon Z 24-70mm f/2.8 lens, Nikon Z 70-200mm f/2.8 lens & Speedlight SB-5000 flash
Weekend from £235 - hire now!

The Z 7 II boasts astonishing low light capabilities, giving you more freedom when light is limited and reducing the need for a flashgun when you are trying to go unnoticed. 
Autofocus is super fast and accurate, plus Eye AF means you will get the most important area of the face in focus – particularly when shooting with a shallow depth of field. 
Dual card shots give you true peace of mind – configure the camera to either start recording on the second card the moment the first is full, or choose to record to both cards simultaneously – safe in the knowledge that you have a solid backup the instant the image is captured.  
 
24-70mm is a beautifully versatile focal length for shooting weddings. It is optically excellent and rivals the quality you would expect form a fast prime. Whilst it is bulkier than the f/4 version, what you get in return is the larger aperture – giving you even shallower depth of field, more refined bokeh and extra low light performance. 
 
70-200mm offers the chance to take candid shots from a distance without disturbing your subjects, and opens up to 70mm, a classic choice for portraits and couple shots. The constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 throughout is not only a true asset in low light, but it gives those dreamy blurred out backgrounds to isolate the subjects within the frame and creates a timeless, cinematic feel.
 
For posed couple shots and portraits a flashgun will open up a world of creative possibilities! Think beautiful backlit silhouettes, dramatic editorial portraits and dynamic dancefloor shots. The Nikon SB-5000 is designed to serve focal lengths from 24-200mm and can be used on or off camera with ease. 

Option 2 - Canon EOS R5, Canon RF 50mm F1.2 lens, Canon RF 28-70mm F2 lens, Canon RF 70-200mm F2.8 lens & Speedlite Flashgun

This package ticks all the boxes – as well as the fabulous R5, you’ll get three lenses:

The Canon RF 50mm F1.2L offers pin-sharp prime performance, perfect for posed shots and candid work in all conditions. A classic choice for wedding photographers worldwide, it does a fantastic job representing the focal length of the human eye, and the large maximum aperture lets in an incredible amount of light. 

Second, the Canon RF 28-70mm F2L offers beautiful wide options with the versatility to move through focal lengths on the hoof. This lens is fantastically sharp for a zoom, offering a great deal of versatility for those scene-setting shots whilst also providing that classic 70mm length for candid work.

Finally, the Canon RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM offers that extra length for when you can't quite get in there without being spotted, whilst maintaining sublime levels of performance and sharpness all the way to the edges.

For added versatility, the Speedlite 600EX II-RT is there to make sure you’re absolutely prepared, whether you're shooting in a darkened moody room, or battling against the lights of disco and dancefloor.
