5 camera bag essentials

A well-packed camera bag is essential for wedding photographers. Apart from the obvious, here are five camera bag essentials everyone should have.

Backup batteries and chargers.
It’s inevitable that your camera battery will drain throughout a wedding day, but don’t forget about your flash batteries too. Consider investing in a solid pack of rechargeable batteries.

Snacks.
A couple of power bars or hydration tablets for your water bottle should live in your camera bag at all times.

Quick dry towel.
If a wedding day calls for rain or if it just spontaneously drizzles, having a quick dry towel to wipe down your camera and lens is a life saver.

Memory card holder.
Having something small you can carry on your person at all times is going to be essential when your memory card runs out and you are in the middle of an important moment.

A comfortable pair of shoes.
Wedding days are tiring and very taxing on your body. Consider bringing an extra pair of comfortable shoes to throw on once the dancing starts.
