My wife and I got married in Hawaii last April and coming up in August we are having our reception. We have a family member, who is a videographer, taking care of the movie+editing for the party (his gift to us
). I also have some friends who are hobbyist shutterbugs that are bringing their gear and offering to help capture all the moments. The one photographer I've hired (another friend) to shoot the important stuff (our ring ceremony, toasts,etc.) is doing so at a reduced rate by using my gear and just handing the camera off to me at the end of the night ( I handle all PP).
The location is a classic ballroom facility with a wide variety of lighting. We won't be doing a ton of outdoor shots, but there will be some.
Anyhoo, here is my gear setup.
Nikon D7000
50mm 1.8 (new version)
35mm 1.8 DX
18-105mm 3.5-5.6 kit lens (unsure if I'll bring this one)
SB-700 Speedlight
misc items like extra battery & memory, and a few ND filters
So, for the folks who have experience shooting weddings, am I missing anything essential for this event?
I'm planning on the 50 1.8 being used for the majority of the night but please make a case if my logic is flawed
thanks for reading and thanks in advance for your input
