What all equipment does Jennifer use? See it broken down below.
For wedding clients – please hire a photographer with at least two pro camera bodies, and a variety of lenses. What happens if a camera breaks on your wedding day? Do you want your photographer to bust out their iPhone? No!! Any pro photographer will have absolutely no problem talking camera gear with you – in fact, we might nerd you out with all of the details we think are so cool about photo gear!
For photographers – if you don’t own at least two camera bodies, two lenses, and a flash – rent it. Don’t take a wedding on without that bare minimum. For an Abilene local rent shop, check out www.texasphotorental.com and tell Steve that Jennifer Nieland sent ya.

What is in Jennifer’s assistant or second shooter’s bags?
All of my second shooters MUST have – 2 camera bodies, 2 lenses 2.8 and better, and a flash. If they don’t own it, Jennifer rents it, and it comes out of their checks. It is that important. On top of that, many times Jennifer will also have them carry a mono-pod in case we want to do a light-on-a-stick.
