Our Gear | Mandy & Randy Wedding & Portrait Photographers | Quebec

What Kind of Gear Do We Use—and Why It Matters

We get this question a lot: “What kind of equipment do you use?”
And while we’ll always say the most important part of the job is the experience and vision behind the camera, using professional, high-end equipment helps us consistently deliver the quality you see in our work.

We invest in some of the best photography and videography gear available—because your memories deserve nothing less.

We’re fully equipped to handle weddings, family sessions, creative portraits, and cinematic video storytelling in any environment, from low-light chapels to bright outdoor ceremonies.

📷 Camera Systems

  • Canon R5 — Our primary camera for photography, offering top-tier resolution, incredible color depth, and fast autofocus. Perfect for capturing crisp, emotional moments as they happen.

  • Canon 5D Mark IV — A tried-and-true backup with beautiful skin tones and reliable performance in all conditions.

  • Canon C100 Mark II — Our go-to video camera for cinematic-quality wedding films and highlight reels.

🎯 Lenses We Love (and Why)

We shoot with a carefully chosen collection of professional Canon lenses that allow us to adapt to any scene—from intimate close-ups to sweeping landscapes:

  • Canon RF 50mm f/1.2L – Stunning for portraits with dreamy background blur.

  • Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L – Our everyday workhorse lens for wide to mid-range coverage.

  • Canon RF 16-35mm f/2.8L – Perfect for creative wide-angle shots and capturing the energy of the dance floor.

  • Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS – Ideal for ceremonies, speeches, and moments from a distance.

  • Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L – Gorgeous compression and bokeh—this is our secret weapon for emotional portraits.

  • Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro – Used for detail shots like rings, florals, and all those close-up storytelling moments.

💡 Lighting Equipment

We believe in using natural light whenever possible, but we’re fully prepared for low-light receptions, indoor ceremonies, and unpredictable weather with professional lighting tools:

  • Godox AD200 – Portable, powerful, and perfect for off-camera lighting setups.

  • Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT – Our reliable flash system for fast-paced moments.

  • Canon ST-E3-RT Transmitter – Wireless control for flawless lighting.

  • MagMod System – For shaping light beautifully, with soft diffusion and creative effects.

🖥️ Editing & Production Software

Our editing process is just as important as what we capture in-camera. We use industry-standard software and fast hardware to ensure your photos and videos are delivered beautifully and efficiently:

  • Adobe Lightroom & Photoshop (latest versions) – For photo editing, retouching, and color correction.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro & Final Cut Pro X – For cinematic video editing and sound design.

  • MacBook Pro (2024, M3 Max) – A powerhouse laptop that lets us edit photos and videos on the go without sacrificing speed or performance. Whether we’re at home or on the road, our workflow stays fast, smooth, and consistent.
