10 Best Camera Bag for Wedding Photographers (2023)

The Peak Design Everyday Messenger is a classic photographer’s bag archetype at this point. It’s a simple blend of classic styling with voluminous internal space. It also has FlexFold dividers that make this bag a winner for years. This is one of the more recent iterations, a streamlined bag for photographers of all stripes.

The interior compartment is impressively efficient because of the FlexFold dividers. you can arrange and cosset your kit for maximum security. It also works best for larger setups; you might find some careful arranging is warranted for small-camera setups to stop them rattling around. 

There’s also a sleeve for a 13-inch laptop or sundry items. The main compartment opens and closes with a single flap that uses a “MagLatch” system to stay secure. This strikes a pleasing balance between convenience and security, one that makes the Everyday Messenger 13 V2 a winner as far as we’re concerned.

This best camera bag works best for wedding photographers or even street photographers.

While the Mindshift Gear BackLight can be picked up in a variety of sizes, including a mahoosive 36L version, we think the 26L provides the best balance between size and capacity.

This is a perfect backpack for a one-camera setup, with space for four to six lenses (depending on their size) and sundry accessories. The interior is simpler and less customizable than that of some other backpacks, and this is very much a backpack for camera gear first and foremost.

This best camera bag has a laptop section as well.

It’s hard not to like this bag’s chic style because it has tactile materials and beautifully crafted hardware.

At 46 x 30 x 17cm, it’s pretty compact for a camera backpack, but can still transport an ungripped DSLR with up to five lenses. There’s no front or rear opening, but rather large side flaps which afford very good mobile access. Inside are internal dividers that form shelves attached to the front and back.

These are a clever design that can snap into thirds to allow a long lens to pass down one side, or can be instantly segmented so multiple small lenses can share one shelf.

Up top is a large multi-use area that can expand by up to 8L thanks to a top flap with four latching positions. A travel tripod will stow on the side, there’s space for a 13” laptop and tablet in the back, and you can even lash a small drone on the front. A basic waist belt helps support heavier loads, and though it lacks hip pads, it can be completely tucked away.

The Vanguard Alta Sky 51D is designed to carry camera gear, a drone, or a combination of both.

The main compartment has room for a pro DSLR with an attached 70-200mm lens and up to four lenses around it.

The Vanguard Alta Sky 51D also has tripod storage that makes the world’s best camera bag.

Padding is good, and there’s a hatch on one side for mobile access, although openings on both sides would be better.

Primary access to this area is via a large rear panel that contains a slot for a 15-inch laptop.

The flap opens wide, but you’ll need to bend the shoulder straps out of the way for unobstructed camera access. Comfort is assured by good-sized hip pads, thick back padding, and generous shoulder straps.

Available in three sizes and two color options (blue/indigo and charcoal), the ‘20’ is the largest of Think Tank TurnStyle 20 V2.0 camera bags. With one shoulder strap rather than the usual two, it’s worn as a sling bag.

A particular bonus is that you can swivel it around on its strap to access your camera and accessories without needing to take the bag off and lay it down – although the downside is that it doesn’t spread the load as a typical backpack would.

There’s enough room for a DSLR and up to four additional lenses or other accessories. The ‘10’ edition takes one less lens, and the ‘5’ is better suited to mirrorless camera outfits. Each bag has an additional tablet pocket and an extra front compartment. Even the largest 20 model is refreshingly lightweight, yet robust and trusty.

This really has its thinking cap on when designing this holster, which is packed with clever features.

The ‘10’ model has internal dimensions of 160x100x152mm and weighs 400g. It an ideal size for a large CSC or smallish SLR with a kit zoom lens. Better still, it has an extending bottom, with a similar zippered arrangement that you’ll often find in carry-on luggage, enabling the internal height to stretch to 210mm.

This makes it equally suitable for a camera with a larger lens fitted, like a compact telephoto zoom.

There are seven different sizes in the entire Digital Holster V2 range. Which are suitable for a medium-sized CSC or even DSLR with a 150-600mm super-telephoto zoom attached.

This best camera bag has two adjustable and removable inner partitions. It helps to adjust an extra lens underneath in the holster’s taller configuration. There’s an additional Velcro-secured accessory pocket inside the top flap and a zippered external side pocket, plus a stretchy front pocket.
