[UGAF] what are you working right now?

[Matthew Hildebrand]

We're just getting started out, so right now I'm holding down a full-time
programming job as well, but we'd like to turn it into a full-time gig. We
(my wife and I, that is) are shooting our second formal wedding this weekend
(though we have done several prior to the idea of starting a business out of
this) and we do regular portraits as well -- all "on-location" stuff.

As far as gear goes, we both have a Canon 5D that we take along with the
following four lenses (four between the two of us, not four each!):
70-200L/2.8 IS, 24-105L/4 IS, 24-70L/2.8, 16-35L/2.8 and a little Sigma
15mm. If the location has power, we've got a light setup based around
ProPhoto lights that we take as well. And, of course, all the standard gear:
reflectors, flashes, etc. We haul all of our gear around on our waists using
the LowePro Deluxe Waistbelts (which we love).

Of the four lenses, my personal  favorite is the 70-200, with the Sigma
being a close second.

It looks like you're going to have some nice weather for it. Do you  
do weddings casually or is it your business? What equipment do you  
usually take for an onsite shoot such as a wedding?
