Do you have everything you need inside your camera bag? We asked some of the photographers who are speaking at WPPI in August 2021 what their camera bag must-haves are, for our weekly series What’s Inside My Camera Bag.  

This week, wedding photographer Kiamarie Stone—who is leading a Photo Walk at WPPI on August 16 titled Creating Light and Airy Images for a Dreamier Wedding Portfolio—shares with us her go-to photography gear, lenses, lighting and other camera bag must-haves! 

What’s are Kiamarie’s camera bag must-haves? Let’s have a look.

Cameras & Lenses 

If one thing is for certain, it’s that Kiamarie loves her Nikon and Contax cameras! Because she shoots in both digital and film, both types of cameras can always be found in her bag. We also have a suspicion that Kiamarie is great at Tetris, considering all that she fits inside her camera bag.

Cameras:

• Nikon D4 
• Nikon Z5 
• Nikon Z7 
• Contax 645 

Lenses: 

• Mirrorless NIKKOR 35 1.8 
• Mirrorless NIKKOR 50 1.8 
• NIKKOR 24-70 2.8 
• NIKKOR 135 1.2 
• Zeiss 80mm 
• NIKKOR 58 1.4 

Lighting & Accessories 

Kiamarie is in good company when it comes to the accessories and lighting inside her camera bag. For lighting, she uses two SB 910’s; as far as accessories go, she always has a Sekonic Light Meter, Pro Master Cleaning Cloths, 120 Fuji film and other essentials with her when she’s out in the field.  

• Two SB 910 Speedlights 
• HoldFast Strap 
• Sekonic Light Meter 
• Pro Master Cleaning Cloths 
• Pro Master Rechargeable batteries  
• 120 Fuji film  

Miscellaneous 

Kiamarie also carries lotion, hand sanitizer, ear plugs, and yep, even bug spray in her camera bag—prepared and practical! 

• Lotion 
• Hand sanitizer  
• Bug spray 
• Ear plugs 
• Lens pouches 

Camera Bag Must-Have Highlights 

When we asked her what’s inside her camera bag, Kiamarie highlighted her must-haves: “My gear bag for weddings is always the same: my HoldFast to conveniently hold two bodies since I shoot both film and digital photos, a Nikon Z7, Z5 & D4, the mirrorless Nikkor 35 1.8, the mirrorless Nikkor 50 1.8, the Nikkor 24-70 2.8, a Nikkor 135 1.2, a Nikkor 58 1.2, a Contax 645 with the Zeiss 80mm lens, 2-SB 910 Speedlights, a Sekonic Light Meter, Pro Master rechargeable batteries, several rolls of 120 Fuji film, hand sanitizer, bug spray, ear plugs, Pro Master cleaning cloths, lotion, memory card case and lens pouches.”
