Which Lenses Should You Use for Wedding Photography? Begin with a Quality Work Horse Lens!
Before you explore all of your options for the numerous circumstances that may arise during a wedding, choose one workhorse lens. This will be a lens that will function in a variety of scenarios and that you can rely on. Here is our suggestion.
Capturing important wedding moments discretely
Weddings are full with heartfelt moments. You are supposed to capture these moments without being intrusive as the wedding photographer. There's also the extra difficulty of capturing your targetted topics when other visitors are frequently in the way. You'll need a lens that lets you zoom close on your subjects while yet maintaining a polite and comfortable distance. We have two suggestions.
Lens: 70-200mm f/2.8
This lens allows you to zoom in during moments when you want to be as inconspicuous as possible. Even better, the compression at 150-200mm helps you to get an image that you just can't with other lenses. Finally, you can achieve a great bokeh effect at f/2.8.
Nikon Z 70-200MM F/2.8 VR S LENS lens: This is a high-end camera lens. We believe it is worthwhile for devoted wedding photographers to make the investment. This lens produces some of the greatest image quality available. If you can afford it, it may become the focal point of your collection. It has six ED glass components, an excellent background blur at f/2.8, four focus keys, a tripod collar ring, and is ideal for continuous photography.
