I have a good problem. I recently purchased a 5D3 and a 70-200 iii lens. My pictures have been gaining a lot of traction just being shared around social media (I shoot car/motorsports photos).

I’ve had a few people ask about shooting weddings already, but I’m not prepared.

  1. What lenses do you primarily shoot with at weddings? I for sure will not be able to use my current 70-200 in most situations.
  2. Any advice over using flash? It’ll be an entirely new concept to me. Luckily a flash came with my 5D.
  3. General Advice? Things you wish you knew when starting out with wedding gigs?
  4. What to charge?

Thank you!

    1. My most commonly used wedding lenses: 24-70 2.8, 70-180 2.8, and a 50 1.2. Other lenses that I bring out periodically: 17-28 2.8, 24 1.8, 85 1.4, and a 100 2.8 macro.
    2. Embrace it and learn it inside and out. How you adapt to the blackholes weddings throw at you is what can set you apart.
    3. Be legit. Have back up gear. Back up the data.
    4. 2nd shoot or assist for a couple of weddings first.
