Hello!
My photography business is really starting to spread out and I have lots of potential clients contacting me. Lots of weddings and parties too!
So far I have been shooting using ambient light and I only take appointments during daylight hours.
Obviously if I am going to be doing weddings this isn't going to cut it. So I need some recommendations on equipment. My budget is small for now, I intend to get bigger, better equipment as money comes in.
From what I've read I should be able to purchase a Canon Speedlight Canon Speedlite 430EX II - Hot-shoe clip-on flash - 43M#
Use a diffuser over it and that will allow me to take portraits in dim lit reception halls and churches without washing out the photo right?
Then lens' I am torn.........from what I understand the lower the aperture can go the better the lens right? I don't have 1200-2000 to purchase a lens that will go to 2.8, would this be a relatively good lens Canon Zoom lens - 28 mm - 135 mm - F/3.5-5.6 - Canon EF#?
Thanks in advance!
