Luxury weddings are unpredictable, fast-paced, and emotionally charged. That’s why every piece of gear in my bag is chosen for speed, versatility, cinematic quality, and reliability—so I can focus on telling the story, not fighting my tools.
Here’s what’s in my kit.
📷 Camera Bodies
Primary: Fujifilm X-T5
This is my go-to. Lightweight, intuitive, and stunning in low light. The X-T5 delivers incredible stills and filmic video quality—perfect for the editorial-documentary blend I’m known for.
Backup: Fujifilm X-H2
Always in my kit. Having a reliable backup isn’t optional in luxury work—it’s professional protocol.
🔍 Lenses I Use (and Why)
Fujifilm 56mm f/1.2 — My favorite for intimate portraits and ceremony close-ups. The background melt is unbeatable.
Fujifilm 18mm f/1.4 — For wide storytelling, architectural shots, and capturing full scenes with depth.
Fujifilm 33mm f/1.4 — A perfect in-between for candids, couple movement, and reception transitions.
I travel light but intentional—each lens serves a cinematic purpose.
🚁 Drone Coverage
DJI Mavic 3 Pro
Clean, stabilized, high-resolution aerials that add scale and luxury to highlight reels. I fly this whenever airspace and weather allow—it elevates the entire storytelling layer.
🎥 Video Stabilization Tools
DJI Ronin RS4 Pro or RS4 Mini
Depending on the project, I use one of these gimbals for buttery-smooth footage. Compact, fast to balance, and responsive—essential for wedding days where moments don’t repeat.
💾 Storage + Backup
SanDisk Extreme Pro SD Cards — Fast, dual-recording, and durable under pressure.
SanDisk Extreme SSD — I back up every wedding on-site. Redundancy is non-negotiable when memories are involved.
🎒 Camera Bag
I rotate bags depending on the shoot and travel conditions—what matters most to me is modularity, weight distribution, and gear protection. If it’s a flight, a remote location, or a tight venue space, the bag shifts to support the mission.
💡 Why I Use This Setup
I’m not interested in overpacking or impressing anyone with gear. Everything I carry serves the story. My focus is emotional clarity, cinematic rhythm, and honoring the people in front of my lens.
Gear should disappear behind the art. But when it’s chosen well—it enables art that lasts.
