One of the questions I\u2019m asked most often is what lenses are in my bag. I\u2019ve always believed that varying focal length will enhance my creativity. I\u2019m not a fan of just using one lens throughout the day- even if that lens can give a wide array of focal lengths. I bring about 8 lenses to a wedding, and over the next few weeks I\u2019ll be posting some images from various weddings and talking about how each lens is utilized. As a Nikon Ambassador to the United States, I do my best to help photographers with gear questions, and I try and put myself out there to provide insight into how I do what I do. <\/p>\n

When I first walk into where a bride is getting prepped, I\u2019ll have my two Nikon D4\u2019s on my body, and I\u2019ll have an AF-S Nikkor 35mm f1.4G on one body and an AF-S Nikkor 85mm 1.4G on the other body. I prefer primes in these situations because I\u2019m doing my best to isolate emotion, and I\u2019m looking to bring focus and attention to my subject while losing backgrounds that may be distracting. I love shooting at 1.4 so I can utilize the quality of the directional light I\u2019m working with, and I don\u2019t need an abundance of light to do so. The 35mm is a lens I rely on often, and it\u2019s something that I keep on my D4 as a \u201cgo to\u201d lens when I\u2019m looking to capture a moment quickly. It\u2019s fast, it\u2019s reliable, and it\u2019s sharp as all hell. I use it during many different parts of the wedding day, and it\u2019s one of my 8 lenses I just can\u2019t do without. Here\u2019s a few with the AF-S Nikkor 35mm 1.4G. <\/p>\n

For the geeks- All images were shot with the AF-S Nikkor 35mm 1.4G and nearly all were shot at 1.4<\/p>\n
