What is the best lens for wedding photography? Ever wonder what wedding photographers use? There are lots of great lenses to choose from, so how do you decide what's right for you?
I've been a professional wedding photographer since 2007 and in this video, I explain exactly which lens is my absolute favourite when photographing weddings and why it's earned its nickname of "The Storyteller Lens"
I always take a mix of lenses to every wedding but one lens stays on one of my camera bodies for almost the entire day. I'll explain why.
