Wedding Photography Digital Camera

1

I want to be a Wedding Photographer?

I'm a graphic designer...but whilst being a fulltime mummy, I would like to start doing wedding photography partime.

I need advice on what digital camera I should purchase and which lenses to buy. Technology is changing so fast, I wonder how photographers find out the same information too.

I would suggest getting a Nikon D300 DX with an 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens for a start. Of course you are going to need fast memory card (Extreme 4 or Ducatti Sandisk) for it, get at least an 8 gb, 16 gb. You would also need a tripod and an external flash - SB-800 AF Speedlight Flash. You also should get yourself a book on Wedding Photography book - it has a lot of tips for the wedding and after, look for one that would suit you.

Here are sites that might help you.

You are a graphic designer so, I assumed that composition is no problem with you. Learn your camera and lighting (get a book if you must). Try to go to a wedding and see how the photographer is working the wedding. There are some rules and ethicets that you should know.

If you are a bit under budget, you could go a bit lower end on your equipments except for your lens. Good Chance!
