Capturing Love: Kevin and Rebecca's Courthouse Wedding

A Moment to Reflect

At the start of Kevin and Rebecca’s courthouse wedding shoot, I realized I had the wrong settings on my camera. Rather than push through, I stopped and asked for a quick redo on a few shots. It’s a reminder that sometimes it’s okay to pause and make adjustments. It’s better to catch it in the moment than to go home and realize you did it all wrong. That little reset made all the difference.

The Magic of Connection

Despite the cloudy skies and cool weather, Kevin and Rebecca brought so much warmth and energy to the day. Their laughter and connection made every frame come alive. This proves that real love doesn’t need perfect conditions; it just needs two people who truly care for each other.

The photos from the day came out beautifully. The moody light added depth and character, while their genuine smiles told the story better than any sunshine could. What started as a cloudy day turned into something truly magical.

The Importance of Preparation

Preparation is key for any photographer. However, it’s equally important to be adaptable. The ability to adjust settings on the fly can make a world of difference. This experience reinforced the idea that flexibility is crucial in capturing the essence of a moment.

Best lens for event photography?

RF 24-70 f2.8

When it comes to events, one lens has become my absolute go-to: the 24–70mm f/2.8. If you’ve ever had to move fast, capture unpredictable moments, and juggle different shooting conditions, you know why this lens is such a lifesaver.

📸 Versatility in One Lens

Events are unpredictable, you might be shooting someone laughing across the room one second, then zooming in for a tight portrait the next. The 24–70mm covers it all. Wide enough at 24mm to grab a group shot or the full scene, yet with the ability to punch in to 70mm for those intimate, candid moments without having to run across the room.

💡 Low Light? No Problem

Most events don’t have perfect lighting. That constant f/2.8 aperture keeps your images sharp and bright, even when the lights dim. Whether it’s a wedding reception, a birthday dinner, or a corporate event, you can rely on this lens to handle tricky lighting situations.

⏱️ Speed & Flexibility

At events, you don’t have time to swap lenses. The 24–70mm keeps you in the moment and ready for anything. One second you’re capturing décor details, the next you’re catching a spontaneous laugh, you’re covered without missing a beat.

🎯 The Event Photographer’s Safety Net

Honestly, if I could only bring one lens to an event, this would be it. It’s sharp, reliable, and flexible. Sure, specialty lenses have their magic (like an 85mm for portraits), but for events where things happen fast, the 24–70mm f/2.8 is the MVP.

👉 In short: This lens is like the Swiss Army knife of event photography—sharp, fast, and versatile. If you’re shooting events and want one lens that can do it all, the 24–70mm f/2.8 should be in your bag.
