I can't say enough about that Z9 battery life, it really is amazing! Did a few 8+ hr weddings & barely used up ½ the battery. Lens choices are so individual. I personally sold my 24-70/2.8 as soon as Tamron made the Z 35-150/2-2.8. That is my go-to all day lens for weddings/events. Incredible & ultra versatile. I have the Nikkor 16-35/4 on my 2nd body (Z8) -- really wish Nikon would make a 16-35/2.8 S or 15-35/2.8 S lens. I've been eyeing the Viltrox Z 16mm 1.8 for the ultra-wide low-light shots. It can become a 24mm/1.8 in DX mode. **I also use various other primes, it really depends on the style/look the couple wants -- but 95% of the time nowadays, the 16-35 & 35-150 covers me thru-out the entire day/event.
Good to see that you use the 50/1.8 and 85/1.8; I love those lenses. You really do not need the 1.2 versions; they are so much bigger and heavier. They are great, but these 1.8 version deliver enough for most situations.
I always recommend at some point getting three bodies so there is a back up too your backup. So far I've heard of three stories of two cameras breaking down at weddings. I know its super rare but why take the chance.
@@TouchLifeStudio My third backup is a lower end camera. I don't have much room in my two camera bags so I just a higher end but not the top of the time pro model. I shoot M43 so my pro bodies are two Olympus OMD E-M1ii and my third camera is a Olympus OMD E-M5. I only had one digital camera break on me and it was a Olympus OMD E-M5 when I went digital it was the second year of owning the camera. That's when I was bring three E-M5 cameras.
@TouchLifeStudio They make it look in the forums and on RUclips as if it's a cardinal sin. I live in the Caribbean where it's always sunny which means dark in doors when it comes to balancing lights. On top of that most of the couples are black and it's easier to get away with natural light on white skins compared to dark skins, so we have no choice but to use flash.
I can’t debate that. 70-200 has its uses at events. I know that this is a highly used lens by many, I personally love it, but depending on a venue, I don’t always use it.
Does your Nanuk scrape and scratch really bad when you roll it on gravel? I know it’s just a case but the pelican scratches easily and makes for a bunch of sharp unpleasant edges

It sounds like you have a solid setup for wedding photography! 35-150 will cover most aspects of a wedding day.
Great video. Your photos are simply amazing. Your clients are definitely getting their money's worth!
Thank you! Your kind words are greatly appreciated.

Yea, those 50 and 85 1.8 are amazing , light and sharp.
Thanks for sharing, nice to see what kit you use and your explanations. Can I ask what power bank you are using for your Z9?
Portable Charger Power Bank 30,800mAh LCD Display Power Bank,25W PD Fast Charging by Pxwaxpy.
My nikon z9 backup battery is only used if I shoot from 6am to 10pm and I need to shoot again the next day
You see, I’m not the only one. Z9 battery lasts forever.
Great video. What head are you using in the ad200s?
For weddings I use Bare Bulb Flash Head with Godox AD-S2 Standard Reflector
Great video thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!

It’s always a good idea to be prepared for anything and having a backup of a backup would definitely be a good idea.

Nice I enjoyed this video, I have the Zf too, and z8 I allso have that viltrox lens too,but it’s for my Fuji crop and I love that lens.
Sounds like we have similar set up. That Viltrox lens is nice.

You shot using flash for the ceremony?
I got eat up on dpreview years ago when I mentioned I use flash at the ceremony 😂
Good for you!!!
A ton of photographer use flash at ceremonies.

What’s the model of Nanak case trolley?
Nanuk 935
Never ever leave home without the 70-200.
Totally overrated

I haven’t taken my case to a gravel road, it mainly goes between home and car.
The 24-70 mm to full frame become 105?????............
24-70 mm in crop mode has 105 mm field of view on long end (at 70 mm). I might have misspoken.
