Wedding Lighting Kits

Kit One

This is my AC powered strobes that I use for many different shots.

Here is a list of what is in the kit:

• 3 Alienbees B1600—If I think the facility for the reception needs more than this I can bring even more of these monobloc lights
• 3 PocketWizard Plus Receivers
• 2 PocketWizard Plus Transmitters
• 1 PocketWizard Plus II Transceiver—Can be receiver or transmitter
• Sekonic Light Meter
• Vagabond Mini Lithium—Use this to power Alienbees B1600 when power isn't nearby
• 3 Extension Cords
• 1 Power Strip
• 3 Convertible 45" umbrellas—Can take off black and convert it to a white shoot through
• 3 Smith-Victor RS75 7'6" Compact Aluminum Light Stands
• 1 Paul Buff set of four honeycomb grids for for 7-inch reflector
• Roll of Gaffer Tap
• Several gel filters for color correction or adding color if needed

All this fits into the Tamrac 660 Rolling Studio - Black and weighs about 65 lbs.  I check this bag when flying.

In this photo you can see the whole room lit up with the 3 Alienbees B1600.

This is another photo showing how even the room is lighted up. Most of the action happened here in the center and not on the fringes where I placed the lights.

This is my hotshoe lighting kit. It includes

• 1 Nikon SB900

• Pocket Wizard Flex Transceivers TT5 Kit
• 2 TT5
