    Dear Kiran, For wedding photography you will need a wide array of lens and cameras. Based on your budget you will have to decide.
    Camera: Go for any of the Sony A1 or A7R5 or the A7 IV
    Lens list:

    Lenses

    1. Wide-Angle Lenses (Group shots, venue, décor)

      • Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM: Ideal for capturing the venue and group photos.
      • Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G: Compact and fast for creative wide-angle shots.
    2. Standard Zoom Lenses (Versatility)

      • Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II: Workhorse lens for ceremonies, portraits, and candid shots.
      • Sony FE 28-75mm f/2.8 (Tamron alternative): Affordable and lightweight.
    3. Prime Lenses (Portraits, low-light, artistic shots)

      • Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM: Perfect for close-up bridal portraits and low light.
      • Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 GM: Great for storytelling and candid shots.
