I breakdown whats in my camera bag on your wedding day over at Sony.
“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”
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.

Amayjen restaurant owner and chef Andrew May with his award for Beef + Lamb NZ ambassador
““I knew I liked food and when I started training I found a passion that has never left me. I remember as a young chef how exciting it felt working with food - all I wanted to do was try different products and food combinations.””
I love how natural New Zealand beef and lamb is and how the meat reflects what the animal is fed on. It is an amazing product and well cared for right throughout the food chain - from how it is grown, transported, and processed - which creates a really high-quality product for chefs to use. We need to know that we are working with a consistently good product so that I have confidence that every dish I serve is of the highest standard. Our beef and lamb dishes are really popular here in the Manawatu and as a chef, I am proud to represent the farmers and their products on the plate.

“In crazy we believe”
Toyota has held a special place in the hearts and minds of New Zealanders for generations. It's probably because we believe in the same things that you do. We love working hard, doing our bit, and never being satisfied until we've got the job right. We do this every day through the reliability of our vehicles and the kind of high quality service we strive to provide. And if we can put a smile on a few faces while we're at it, then all the better.
