Our Photography Equipment: Elevating Your Experience

by

At Jaimie Dee Photography, we understand that the equipment behind the lens is just as important as the talent and expertise of the photographer. While it’s true that a skilled photographer can capture stunning images with any camera, having the right tools ensures that we consistently deliver exceptional results tailored to your unique event.

Why Equipment Matters

In the world of wedding and portrait photography, the right equipment makes a significant difference. It allows us to adapt to varying conditions and capture every special moment with precision and clarity. From the grand entrance to the intimate exchanges of vows, our equipment helps us to be prepared for most scenarios we come across. We discuss specific needs with clients ahead of time and secure additional equipment if necessary.

Our Camera System: Full-Frame Mirrorless for Versatility and Quality

We primarily use Sony A7iii full-frame mirrorless cameras, having recently transitioned from the Nikon D750 system. This switch has allowed us to take advantage of the advanced features Sony offers, including exceptional low-light performance, high-speed autofocus, and superior image resolution. These attributes are crucial for capturing the dynamic and often unpredictable moments of a wedding day.

Lenses for Every Scenario

Our go-to lenses are the versatile 24-70mm f/2.8 lenses, perfect for capturing everything from wide-angle group photos to intimate close-ups. For events held in larger spaces, we incorporate the 70-200mm f/2.8 lenses to ensure we can capture candid moments without intruding on the scene. Occasionally, we use fixed (non-zoom) lenses when the occasion calls for it. This combination allows us to adapt quickly and creatively to various situations.

Lighting: Crafting the Perfect Image

Lighting is a critical component of photography, and we come prepared to handle almost any lighting situation that may arise. We typically bring a minimum of four to five speedlights to each event (more, if the job requires it), along with various light modifiers and compact lightstands. Our lighting setup is designed to provide enough power to overcome even the brightest sunlight or the darkest reception hall.

On the dance floor, we are typically using our speedlights to freeze the action. Additionally, we use on-camera speedlights with additional light modifiers when necessary to achieve a softer, more even light directly from our cameras.

For fast-paced situations where subjects are relatively still, we like to incorporate video LED constant lights when the situation calls for it. This is especially great for photographing and correctly lighting decor or other details throughout the day, allowing us to move through these images with relative ease and speed.

For select outdoor sessions, we may also bring additional reflectors. When the situation calls for it and if appropriate, using a reflector is a great way to shape, bend, and manipulate natural light outdoors. It allows us to move more quickly and efficiently than using speedlights outdoors when we need to overcome bright sunlight or supply additional shade.

Backup Equipment: Reliability and Preparedness

It is crucial for any professional photographer to have backup gear. We always have reliable backup equipment on hand to ensure that even if an unexpected issue arises, we can continue photographing your event without interruption.

Software and Post-Processing

Our post-processing workflow is just as meticulous as our photographing process. We use a suite of industry-leading software, including Photo Mechanic, Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop, Luminar AI, ImagenAI, Aftershoot, Evoto, Fundy Album Designer, and Topaz Gigapixel AI. These tools enable us to fine-tune every image to perfection, ensuring that the final results are nothing short of breathtaking. Read more about our full editing process here.

Data Management and Storage

We take data security seriously. Our images are backed up online, with multiple backups maintained until the final delivery to ensure that your memories are safe and secure. Clients are advised to make their own backups upon image delivery, as we do not store images long-term after this point.

Enhancing the Client Experience

Every piece of equipment and every software tool we use is chosen with one goal in mind: to enhance your experience. From the initial consultation to the final delivery of your images, our focus is on providing a seamless, stress-free process that allows you to enjoy your special day to the fullest.

Conclusion

At Jaimie Dee Photography, we are committed to using the best tools available to capture your most cherished moments. Our investment in top-tier equipment and software ensures that we can deliver stunning, high-quality images that you will treasure for a lifetime.
