▸ 85mm
An 85mm is the lens I lean on for that shallow depth of field couples expect—nice compression, clean backgrounds, and a more “premium” look. It’s also a great way to separate moments from messy wedding environments without overthinking it.
Pros
- +Creates strong subject separation and flattering compression
- +Great for portraits and emotional moments from a comfortable distance
- +Pairs well with a 24–70 or 35mm for full coverage
Cons
- -Too tight for small rooms during prep
- -Harder to use in very crowded spaces
