Wedding photographer Fabio Mirulla says the Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM is one of the best lenses for wedding photography, particularly for capturing an immersive view of the reception. Fabio also sometimes uses a compact Canon Speedlite 600EX RT flash (now succeeded by the Canon Speedlite 600EX RT-II), usually as part of a multi-flash system, fired remotely from a camera-mounted Canon Speedlite Transmitter ST-E3-RT.

We spoke to Canon Ambassadors Julia Blumenthal and Gil Gropengießer, a couple who work together as wedding photographers based in Leipzig, Germany, and destination wedding photographer Fabio Mirulla, who is based just outside Florence, Italy. Here, these wedding specialists open their kitbags and reveal their favourite Canon lenses for capturing a couple's special day. In addition, Mike Burnhill, Professional Imaging Product Specialist at Canon Europe, explains how the technology behind these lenses makes them so well-suited to the genre.
