I carry two of these around with me to every single wedding. They do amazing in low light and have been my favorite camera to use on a daily basis.

I absolutely love the look and vibe of this camera. I use it as a film simulation camera and you can get sooo many amazing images out of it. I've imported a film recipe (you can find a lot of them online) that mimicks Porta 400 film and I use it to g...

This is one of my cheaper lenses and I've been pleasantly surprise by it! It's a lightweight lens that has been super helpful on wedding days so I don't have to get super close to the ceremony, I like to try to be as far away as possible so I don't i...
Canon RF 100mm f/2.8

A large lens for sure, but has been so great when I'm shooting in brighter light. I can still get all the amazing images I want and I'm able to be more versatile with my images with less movement on my part.
Canon RF24-70mm F2.8L IS USM Standard Zoom Lens for EOS R-Series

This is a chunky boy. It's such a great lens though! Finding a great zoom lens where the fstop goes as low as 2 is just unheard of, but this camera does it! It's a great lens to carry no matter what you're shooting!

I have six of these, two in each color and all my images are stored in two places. These are the best solid state drives I've found. They connect via a USBC which is great for plugging them into my laptop or desktop!
