Our Equipment

We're pretty particular about the kind of gear we like to use. And we're a little bit different in some ways. For instance, everyone assumes that creative people like to use macs. Not us - we're die-hard PC users, baby! Here's a little more info on our gear.

Cameras: Nikon

We Loooooooove our Nikon. Why? Because it just feels right. The shape of the cameras fit really well in the hand, the cameras respond really well, and render colors beautifully.

Computers: Hand-built, custom PCs.

Yup, we're huge geeks. We don't buy computers off the shelf. We make them ourselves from scratch. That means buying a case, motherboard, processor, ram, drives, cables, power supplies, etc. and putting them all together. Knowing our equipment inside and out is a big deal for us, so building our own computers is only natural.

Lights: SB-600's, Lumedynes, and Cactus Triggers

Woah, what's all this stuff? The use of off-camera flash is what separates good photographers from elite ones. We're committed to delivering studio-quality results to every wedding we shoot, no matter where it is. Using lights helps us achieve images that would otherwise be impossible.

Harness: BlackRapid

Our favorite gear purchase of 2009, bar none. The BlackRapid DS-1 is the coolest camera strap ever invented. The DS-1 lets us carry two cameras at once, without either camera ever getting in the way. We can switch from a closeup lens to a telephoto lens in under one second. That helps us make sure we're getting all the best shots, and never missing a moment.
