p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Camera equipment rental advice


hi all,

i have not been on this site for the past few years as i was 'retired' from wedding photography and have sold off all my canon gears. This September, i was asked to shoot a wedding and i need to rent canon bodies and lenses for my wife who will be shooting with me.

is there a good reliable on-line rental site or locals in Northern VA / Wash DC area?

appreciate your help

Just use lensrentals. They will also sell you most items at a reduced price after the rental.

There are better places to use than lensrentals.com for periods longer than 4 days. I would not shoot a wedding unless I had time to practice with a new camera and verify its autofocus and flash performance and other aspects of their performance well in advance.

Sometimes it is better for all concerned to decline to photograph a wedding. Might have been better to contribute $1500 to the cost of a working wedding photographer than to spend that amount on renting equipment for the occasion.
