I have been shooting wedding photography for over 3 years. I like to travel light so that I can quickly react to a fast paced wedding day schedule. I use these umbrellas with Nikon SB-800 speedlights and a Westcott Photo Basics 7.5' light stand. This combination is very quick and easy to set up and take down and fits very neatly in an Adorama 30" light stand bag. The best part is I find that this lighting arrangement provides a very nice quality of light for portraits of the bride and groom. I am buying a second umbrella so that one can be used as a key light and the second as a fill light.
