I do not do Weddings or Events. I shoot portraits with big lights. Mobility is very limited. Each scene must be setup like in the movies. Please see equipment setup.
I use Canon cameras with Full Frame Sensors. See equipment for more details.
ISO 100 is the crispest image with the least amount of graininess. It allows for more cropping and editing possibilities.
I use fixed prime lenses. They have a higher image quality over zoom lenses. See equipment for more details.
