As the saying goes, “Luck favors the prepared.” That’s Marcus Bell’s approach to packing his gear for a wedding. He uses three small bags. Here’s what he places in each:
Main Bag
• Spare batteries
• Breath freshener (“A courtesy,” he says.)
• Air brush and lens-cleaning cloth
• Two Canon EOS 5Ds
• Two main lenses: 28–70mm f/2.8 and 85mm f/1.2
• 70–200mm f/2.8 lens for ceremony
• Epson P4000 downloader (carried in pocket)
• Point-and-shoot 8MP camera for backup (surprisingly, some of the album images get made with this camera)
• Digital flashmeter
• Flashlight for looking through the three bags
• Stain Stick and spare cloth (to get any stain out of the wedding dress)
Waist Bag (Worn All Day)
• Secondary lenses (35mm f/1.4 and 17–35mm f/2.8)
• Crochet hook (sometimes need to help fasten the bride’s dress)
• Arctic Butterfly (a battery-powered sensor-cleaning brush)
• Small handheld video light (battery powered)
• Extension tube for closeups
• More spare batteries
• 30GB worth of CF cards, 4GB capacity each
Backup Bag
• EOS 1D Mark II
• 85mm f/1.8 and 50mm f/1.4 lenses
• Tele-extender (rarely used, but kept in the backup bag nonetheless)
• More spare batteries
• Charger for batteries
• Timetable sheet for events and instructions on how to get there
