    I'll be shooting a huge catholic wedding and reception this Saturday in MX.

    Gear:

    Nikon d7100
    Yongnuo manual flash
    Nikon 80-200 f/2.8
    Nikon 24-120 f/4
    Tokina 16-28 f/2.8
    Sigma 50mm 1.4 Art

    Wish me luck I'm going to be a shit show with only one body.. :(

    Oh and to top it off it's my cousin's wedding so I told her just to give me $100 for expenses.

    :(:(:(:(:

    • you got this man. one body will be interesting, but just have fun and get some shots.capn_ron
    • keep the sigma on :Djaylarson
    • I wish I could man but I can't be stuck at true 75mm the whole time.HijoDMaite
    • Go rent another d7100.pango
    • oh... $100....
      she get what she pays for LOL      pango
    • i'd stick with 16-28 and 80-200. so you don't have to carry too many lens. anything in between. just walk further or closer.pango
    • Buy extra batteriesok_not_ok
    • what pango saidSimonFFM
    • I have two batteries. my plan is to use the long and the 50 for most of ceremony. Then bust out the wides to use with flash.HijoDMaite
    • Double check if wide angle lens casts shadow in the photo when using on camera flash.pango
    • its a big flash, a speed light not one of those compact ones.HijoDMaite
    • Second body will be a huge help if it's only you. You cousin should cover the extra few bucks. I'd get a 24-70 2.8, but I don't know what the crop is.formed
    • 1.4 will be good for detail shots, get lots of them. I'd think you'll need more than 1 flash, or skip it altogether (if it's all day, outside)formed
    • Def. bring your phone if your one body fails. Weddings aren't really the thing to chance only having one body on. Even though they're paying you shit.BH26
