I. Cameras

Open Box Sony A9ii (personally think it produces the best Sony colors). I use both this camera and my Sony A1 for digital work at the moment. 

Open Box Sony A1. This is my workhorse camera. Lightweight, incredibly fast autofocus, great colors. 

an incredible open-box deal happening right now! 

Ricoh III Camera - not currently a camera that I use, but one I've been eying for its small build. Cheap enough to be a consumer-grade camera, but high enough quality to make it into a professional's workflow! I love small point and shoot cameras, and even without a sale price, it's a great deal. 

II. Lenses

The Sony lens that I use the most - the Zeiss 50! Great focusing, great quality images. It's always the first I recommend to those switching to Sony. 

Sony 35mm GM Lens - I own the Zeiss 35mm, but I (often) think about making the switch to this lens for a bit faster focusing. 

III. Accessories

Travel Tripod from Peak Design. I have the aluminum one which gets the job done. If you want to travel (even) lighter, go for the Carbon! These tripods break down to such a tiny size (usually lives in my carry-on). 

The perfect single camera strap. It's so comfy and adjustable. The entire Peak Design system of straps are the best. Highly, highly recommend this one, but you can't go wrong with any on that site! And while you're at it, do yourself a favor and get an extra (or two) pack of these. 

Lexar SD Cards - keep an eye on these. They go on sale periodically (always when I stock up!). 

My favorite portable SSD is currently on sale (switched to these after having too many issues with the SanDisk SSD’s. This one is small, super durable, and I’ve had zero issues with it!

IV. Bags, Cases, etc

The 40L travel backpack I use for every travel wedding. It's huge, but (justttt) small enough where you can cram it under almost any airplane seat. I typically include the following when traveling: laptop, hard drives, all film, sometimes 1 camera, snacks/medicine/etc. 

The perfect small camera sling for your small camera-carrying friends and family. Comes in multiple colors.  

Professional Sling Bag for weddings. Great storage, but also not too huge. My only complaint is that it doesn't stand up on it's own (usually tips over, which for most isn't a big deal). 

I'm a huge fan of having at least 1-2 packing cubes for travel weddings. And these camera travel cubes are perfect when you want to include a couple cameras in your checked luggage without the worry.

Goodlight Presets- my go-to presets/profiles are Pack 4 Goodlight. I love M6, M5, and M3 a lot! Use code ABIGAILLEWISPHOTO to get a discount on your purchase. Below is a Raw vs. Edited image using Pack 4. 

Every download from my education store is currently 30% off through Cyber Monday. Use the code EARLYBLACKFRIDAYDEALS to get your discount. I highly recommend checking out The Holga Guide. 

Pic-Time is currently offering a great discount. I use Pic-Time for all gallery delivery and for all automated print sales. They have so many incredible automated sales options to get people into the online store and buying some beautiful prints, albums, etc. Right now, in addition to the discount, they're offering to move 200 galleries from your current hosting platform over to Pic-Time (making the move 100x easier!).
