“I believe that every wedding photographer brings a unique touch to capturing those special moments; for me, it’s all about focusing on the candid, unscripted emotions that come together to tell a beautiful wedding story.”
I’m Binu Adoor, a wedding photographer from the beautiful state of Kerala, India, with over a decade of dedicated professional experience. My journey in wedding photography has been fuelled by a deep passion that has earned me both national and international acclaim, motivating me to continue pushing my creative boundaries. The sheer joy of capturing my clients’ cherished “forever” moments is beyond words, and it inspired me to connect with other like-minded photographers. Together, we formed San Ads, a team driven by the same passion for storytelling through the art of wedding photography.
My approach to wedding photography is rooted in a documentary style, so most of my shots focus on authentic, spontaneous moments as they unfold. I’m always looking for striking, unforgettable moments that deserve to be captured and remembered forever. However, I also sometimes enjoy planning shots where I can play with creative lighting and thoughtful concepts to bring an artistic flair. While most of my work flows naturally, some frames are deliberately crafted to bring a vision to life. It’s all about striking the perfect balance between letting moments unfold organically and infusing them with creativity.
As a wedding photographer, I rely on gear that seamlessly supports my creative vision throughout the shoot. Two lenses that have consistently delivered exceptional results are the Sony FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM and the Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM II. What sets these lenses apart for my photography style is their outstanding image quality, impeccable detail, and lightning-fast autofocus.
Being part of Sony’s prestigious G Master lineup, both the Sony FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM and the Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM II embody reliability and excellence, making them indispensable in capturing unforgettable wedding moments. The exceptional sharpness and clarity of these lenses let me capture every intricate detail, from the raw emotions on a couple’s faces to the stunning beauty of the venue.
Their lightning-fast autofocus is a game-changer for those spontaneous, fleeting moments, ensuring I never miss a meaningful interaction during a wedding. I’d love to share more about the unique features that make these lenses my all-time favourites.
FE 24-70 mm F2.8 GM
“With my G Master 24-70mm lens, I bring every moment to life, blending versatility with exceptional clarity to transform transient moments into lasting memories.”
My go-to lens is the Sony 24-70mm GM, a true all-rounder that lets me capture everything from expansive wide shots to detailed close-ups without the hassle of changing lenses. Its fingertip focus control ensures I’m always ready to adapt to quick, unpredictable moments effortlessly.
To top it off, the lens delivers exceptional clarity and contrast, thanks to its Nano AR Coating, which effectively minimizes flare and ghosting, even in challenging backlit conditions.
FE 85 mm F1.4 GM II
“With my 85mm GMII lens, I capture the essence of every detail, turning precious wedding moments into breathtaking portraits that tell their own unique stories.”
I opt for my brand-new SONY 85mm F1.4 GM II when it comes to portraits and more intimate close-ups. It gives me that perfect balance of sharpness and background blur, helping me emphasize the couple’s emotions and create more intimate, focused shots. The lens choice helps convey the mood, whether it’s capturing the story of the day or highlighting a specific moment.
This lens empowers my creative portraiture like never before, delivering breathtaking bokeh and exceptional resolution, even at F1.4, thanks to its advanced lens technology.
It’s an ideal choice for a lens, seamlessly pairing with Real-time Recognition AF in α-series cameras for quick, accurate, and whisper-quiet subject tracking, keeping every frame sharp, even at F1.4. I also appreciate its dependability in any outdoor setting, made possible by its dust- and moisture-resistant design.
My aim for my images is to evoke a sense of nostalgia or stir emotions tied to the couple’s wedding memories and transport them into the essence of the day. I want each photo to resonate deeply, whether it’s the joy, love, or intimate connection between the couple, or the vibrant energy of the entire celebration and I think both of my lenses allow me to do it perfectly and amazingly.
