Beginner to Intermediate Wedding Photographer Black Friday Recommendations

Canon EOS R6 Mark II – primary camera used by The Apartment Photography for Vancouver weddings

Canon R6 MarkII

I’d start by getting the Canon R6 mark 2. It’s a full frame camera, incredibly capable, has dual card slots so every photo is saved twice for redundancy.

Canon RF 35mm lens – wide-angle lens for Vancouver wedding photography by The Apartment Photography

Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 IS

For a lens, I’d grab the RF 35mm F1.8. It's small and super capable. It’s my personal goto focal length on a wedding day, and I actually have this lens for traveling. It’s light, sharp and super fast.

Pic-Time online gallery platform – used by The Apartment Photography for client delivery

Pic-Time Galleries

Sending your galleries with a Dropbox or a WeTransfer link is basically like serving a filet mignon in a take-out box. We can do better. I’d start with a platform that grows with you like Pic-Time. The delivery experience is industry leading, but what I didn’t realize early on is that every gallery you send becomes part of the long-term momentum of your business. 

 

With all your clients in one place, over time those clients become your audience, so when those automated anniversary or holiday print emails go out, which Pic-Time fulfills, you’ll be earning passive income from day one.

Amaran 60x LED panel – studio lighting gear used by The Apartment Photography Vancouver

Amaran 60x S Bi-Colour LED

This Amaran LED continuous light is a freaking steel right now, it’s small, compact, easy to use and with the bi-colour feature you’re able to tune the colour of the light to match your scene.

Samsung T9 portable SSD – external storage for wedding photography by The Apartment Photography

Samsung SSD

Lastly, I would get a portable SSD hard drive that reads and writes above 2000MB/s. Most commons ones are half that, and these are under optimal conditions so typically expect lower speeds. The Samsung T9 series is incredibly reliable and my top choice.

Intermediate to Seasoned Wedding Photographer Black Friday Recommendations

ImagenAI – AI culling and editing software used by The Apartment Photography Vancouver

Imagen Ai Editing + Colour Preset Profiles

For editing, Imagen’s the obvious industry leader when it comes to features and just how customizable it is. If you’re new to them, their black friday deal is amazing, plus all their presets, like their ai profiles, are half off as well.

OWC Express M2 NVMe Enclosure – photo storage gear used by The Apartment Photography Vancouver

Samsung 4TB 990 Pro

If you’re still using these hard drives I’d pick up the Samsung 990 Pro and pair it with an enclosure like the OWC or the Satechi. It can double or quadruple the speed you’re getting with these traditional SSDs

Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens – portrait lens for Vancouver wedding photography by The Apartment Photography

Canon RF VCM Range of L series Lenses

The new Canon RF VCM range of L series lenses have definitely piqued my interest. They’re smaller, lighter, weather sealed and $1,000 less than their larger siblings. It’s something I personally want to consider since I’m still using my EF L series lenses.

Peak Design Slide Lite camera strap – wedding photography gear by The Apartment Photography

Peak Design Slide Lite

I like the look of the Slide Lite from Peak Design, I have the Leash and I occasionally use it when I’m only using one camera at a wedding, but I like the idea of a slightly thicker strap to soften the load on my shoulders.

Profoto A10 off-camera flash – wedding photography equipment used by The Apartment Photography Vancouver

Profoto A10

I’d pick up a Profoto A10 light for sure. I love how simple the menu and user interface is, and adding it to my growing Profoto kit would make me a happy boy this holiday.
