& EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM
Professional photographers using full-
frame cameras often cover a wedding
with just a few lenses, for example, a
standard zoom, like the EF 24-70mm
f/2.8L II USM, and a telephoto zoom,
such as the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II
USM. You can work in the same way
with an APS-C camera and these lenses.
EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
& EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM
EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM is
a versatile upgrade for your kit lens.
Ideal for both wide-angle group shots
and individual portraits, plus image
stabilisation helps keep images sharp
at slow shutter speeds. If you want a
bit more telephoto reach, EF-S 55-
250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM allows you to
stand back and shoot candid close-up
portraits of family and friends from
a distance, without disturbing their
special moment.

The Big Day
Weddings provide a unique opportunity for
photographing friends and family when they’re
looking their best. The shots you take can capture
memories that will last a lifetime.
Think about how you can best capture the mood and
feeling of the day. It might mean looking down from
the top of some stairs or crouching down to capture
a view of the smallest bridesmaid. Finding a new or
interesting angle can be a great way of creating a
distinct and memorable set of pictures.
Lighting can be a challenge during an indoor
wedding – you can’t have your flash going off
throughout the ceremony. To overcome this,
consider increasing the ISO sensitivity on your
camera. Take a few test shots (to see if your shutter
speed is fast enough to stop any blur) before
the bride arrives – you won’t have time to make
adjustments once she walks down the aisle.
Professionals using a full-frame camera often use
a wide-aperture zoom lens like the EF 24-70mm
f/2.8L II USM because it can take fantastic quality
shots in low light, such as during the ceremony
and reception. Plus, it covers a useful range of focal
lengths and maintains its large f/2.8 aperture at all
zoom settings.
A good alternative for APS-C cameras is the EF-S
17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM. It has the range to capture
all types of shots, as and when they happen (from
portraits to group shots), and it shoots well in
low light.
A wide-aperture fixed focal length lens also makes
a excellent option for shooting a wedding, as they
are great at letting in lots of ambient light. Try the
EF 85mm f/1.8 USM: it’s lightweight, delivers
fantastic image quality and gives plenty of control
over depth of field.
