Part II ✦ Shooting Weddings on Location
70-200 telephoto
Another lens that works great around the mirror is the 70-200mm telephoto. If you happen to be stuck in
a small room, you can still use this lens by zooming in really close on faces and other small details as the
makeup is going on. However, if you can get back a little farther away from the action, you can still zoom

can get a very similar image, but from a much closer range.
Figure 6-6: For this shot, the bride was
completely unaware of my presence
because I used a long lens and shot
through a doorway from an adjacent
room.
