I’ve known for a while that I’d be needing a macro lens, I think I was just hoping I could get away without it for a while. Well, the time came that I finally realized that, as a wedding photographer and someone who shoots a lot of details, I NEED one. So after a bit of research and a lot of testing, I finally ordered the Canon 100mm 2.8L macro.

And friends? I am so glad we finally took the plunge and bought it. It was amazing for my two e-sessions last weekend, and I can’t wait to use it on the super secret project, going down on SUNDAY. Wedding photographers that are just starting out- don’t kid yourself. A macro lens is a necessity, just like a good portrait lens and some sort of zoom for ceremony shots.

Pardon me for failing to include shots of the actual lens- I was going to do that this morning, but my 50 1.2 malfunctioned and I had a minor panic attack. I’m sure, in time, you’ll come to forgive me.

Here are a few images I took while playing around with my new lens. Look how SHARP they are!

Betch can’t guess what this is? You’ll find out soon enough 🙂

This is a piece of coral we brought backfrom the beach in St. Lucia where we took our honeymoon. 🙂

And this is the necklace I wore on my wedding day. I was hoping it would bring snow- it totally did! Ironically, I bought it at a jeweler’s in Orlando.

Happy Wednesday!
