The Sony Gear I Used to Photograph a Helicopter Elopement in New Zealand

Join Benj Haisch behind the scenes of a high stakes mountaintop elopement in New Zealand. Stress testing the Sony A9 III, Sony A7RV, and the new 28-70mm F2 lens in real-world outdoor conditions. Take a deep dive into the workflow of an international destination wedding shoot. This wedding was for fellow photographer and Sony Artisan Sara France. Watch how fellow photographer Jason Vinson and I tag teamed the day, blending two completely different creative styles to capture the exact same wedding from entirely unique perspectives. We break down our lighting choices, composition philosophy, and how we adapted to shooting on top of a mountain. I deliver every single client gallery through Pic-Time. Their 2.0 update is a massive workflow upgrade for wedding photographers, featuring custom themes, an AI album builder, and a gorgeous, streamlined Print Shop.
