WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT

Wedding Photography is a lucrative profession and one that requires developed skills and special equipment.

The event photographer or photojournalist is almost always in motion, frequently running from one location to another. Wedding photography rarely incorporates a studio lighting set as there is simply not enough time to setup and adjust a bunch of equipment. Without the use of studio lighting, the photographer is reliant on and working with available light and one or two fill flashes.

Typical wedding photography equipment includes:

Multiple cameras each with different lenses
At least 1 very fast (f 1.4) lens
Camera flash bracket with Porta-Flash
Flash modifier to soften the flash light
Tripod or monopod
Stand alone umbrella flash for fill light
Many fully charged sets of batteries for camera and flash

ALZO's unique photo equipment is the perfect solution when it comes to wedding photography.

ALZO Flip Flash^® Bracket: Holding It All Together

One of ALZO's most popular items is the Flip Flash^® Bracket that lets you to switch orientation from horizontal to vertical in no time. The bracket is equipped with an extendable bar that can support a small umbrella, softbox or a light, and the horizontal bar can hold 2 flashes. If you need to stabilize the camera, the rubber handle on the bottom has a universal tripod mount.

	Porta-Flash Lights: Let There Be Light in the Right Place Location photographers face different lighting situations with each job. Flash lights let you control lighting for many locations without having to carry lights and light stands, a necessity for wedding photography. Our selection of portable flash lights is compatible with various digital cameras at a low cost. Choose from a Canon and Nikon compatible power zoom speedlight, an auto porta-flash, an auto dual flash with zoom, and portable flash ultra light kits.

Battery Power Light Kits: Self-Sufficient and User-Friendly For the event photographer, portability, weight, ease of use, versatility and independence are important considerations when it comes to purchasing photo equipment. The ALZO Ultra Light Umbrella Kit combines all these traits at a low price, using silver-textured photo umbrellas to diffuse the light. The rechargeable batteries and the soft case that fits the whole kit make this the ideal gear for wedding photography. The Softbox Kit uses 2 Mini Softboxes to diffuse the light in addition to the umbrellas.

	Lumiquest Promax: Bouncing Off the Wall A portable camera flash generally produces harsh images with strong shadows, which can be softened by bouncing the light off a low white ceiling. When no white ceiling is available, the Lumiquest Promax System is the flash accessory you need. It attaches to your flash and bounces the light at a 80/20 ratio, with 80% ceiling bounce and 20% forward bounce as fill light. Reduce under nose and chin shadows and get a more natural look.

AC or Battery Flash Light Kits: Maximum Power at Minimum Price The Photogenic Studiomax III camera flash can be battery powered or connected to an electrical outlet, and is available in 160w/sec or 320w/sec.
