What's In My (Wedding Photographer's) Camera Bag?

Whats In My Camera Bag

“What’s in my camera bag” defines every photographer in a particular way. We have world renowned photographers with photography equipment from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Sigma, Pentax, and many more. DARS Photography decided to go with the Canon lineup after initially trying out few entry-level DSLRs. We have been extremely happy with the results of our photos, but we never stop learning. We are constantly looking for new ways to enhance our photos to achieve the desired look by our clients.  Every photographer has a unique vision. What they like to keep in their bag helps bring that vision alive. Our goal is to make sure we have the best equipment for our wedding photography clients. The day of each of our bride and groom is probably the most important day of their life and we need to do whatever we can to make it unique and memorable for them. Having said that, here’s what’s in my camera bag!

Wedding Photography Styles: Traditional vs. Photojournalistic

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY STYLES
[g5plus_space desktop=”90″ tablet=”70″ tablet_portrait=”60″ mobile_landscape=”50″ mobile=”40″]

Wedding photography styles can often be a daunting decision for couples as they plan their big day. On one hand, traditional wedding photography captures timeless, posed shots that showcase the formalities of the occasion. On the other hand, photojournalistic wedding photography captures candid, spontaneous moments as they happen. While traditional photography captures the grandeur and elegance of the event, photojournalistic photography tells the story of the day through a series of candid, unposed images. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and what style best reflects the couple’s unique love story.
