What’s in my bag? David Le Wedding Photography

David Le (@davidle_nz) is a full time wedding and commercial photographer who made the switch over to Sony Alpha mirrorless from Canon when he came to an inflection point in his career. “I had a decision to make: to invest more into Canon glass or make the switch to Sony,” he explains. “Some of the big draws for me in making the switch was the new technology of mirrorless that I could see Sony was investing in, the compact size and the electronic view finder allowing me the ability to see the exposure of my shot. This cut down overshooting by allowing me to be more efficient with my shooting, which in turn helped cut down my post production and culling time as I was nailing the shot I needed in camera. This was the best decision I made for my career as it allowed me to progress faster than I would have if I stayed with Canon, and I knew the support given by Sony was far superior.”

We caught up with David to learn more about his wedding photography gear. Keep reading as he shares his what's in his bag.

What's in my camera bag with Sony New Zealand

Nearly every wedding I have Uncle Tom with his flash safari camera or Instagram Traveller Cousin Timmy come over and spin a yarn about techy camera stuff, so here’s what I had in my kit over this past weekend.
Thanks to Sony and Sony Alpha New Zealand for coming to the party. The crew got me a trio of brand spanking new lenses in the 24 F1.4 Gmaster, the pocket rocket 35mm F1.8 and the little @zeisscameralenses 55mm F1.8. Even managed to sneak in a 24-70mm F2.8 Gmaster just for this weekend too. I’ve been rocking Sony since 2016 with my go to wedding combo being the 35mm + 55mm, if you’re a photographer what’s your favourite focal length? | #davidle_nz @davidle_nz
