Bob’s Two Flashes for the Wedding

Bob lined up his gear on the kitchen table — cameras, lenses, batteries, and memory cards. But the last things he checked were his two flashes: the Sony HVL-F20M and the Godox TT350S. He tested both, one after the other, watching the light bounce softly off the ceiling. “You two,” he said with a grin, “are my insurance policy.”

Weddings can go from soft daylight to dim candlelight in minutes, and Bob knows that good lighting can make or break a photo. That’s why he always brings two flashes — one small and subtle, the other smart and strong.

 The Sony HVL-F20M — Bob’s Quiet Light

Bob calls the Sony HVL-F20M his “polite flash.” It’s small, lightweight, and quick to use — perfect for his Sony a6000 or a5000. During the ceremony or portrait sessions, he uses it to gently fill shadows without drawing attention or overpowering the mood.

The F20M tilts upward, letting Bob bounce light off ceilings or walls to keep the look natural and soft. It’s perfect for those quiet, emotional shots — a hand on a shoulder, a whispered smile, or a moment of stillness before the vows.

“It’s like a whisper of light,” Bob says. “Just enough to make the moment glow.”

 The Godox TT350S — Bob’s Power and Control

Then there’s the Godox TT350S, Bob’s workhorse flash. Compact but powerful, it has full TTL support, a tilt/swivel head, and wireless control — everything he needs when the lights go down and the party begins.

Bob uses the TT350S for receptions, dance floors, and group photos when he needs reliable power and flexibility. It pairs perfectly with his Sony a6000 setup, letting him bounce, diffuse, or angle light to shape the scene.

He especially loves the high-speed sync feature — it lets him shoot wide open in bright light without overexposing. And when the music starts, it keeps up with every flash, beat for beat.

“This one’s the energy flash,” Bob says. “When the lights drop, it steps up.”

 Why Bob Brings Both

To Bob, having two flashes isn’t about carrying extra gear — it’s about being ready for anything.

The Sony flash handles the subtle, quiet moments; the Godox flash handles the big, loud ones. If one overheats or runs out of power, the other jumps in. Together, they make sure every moment — from the first kiss to the last dance — is properly lit and beautifully told.
