My brother used this photographer for his wedding.

//www.mifranco.com/blog/2013/9/greisi-and-francisco

I am fascinated by his style of photography and the vividness of his photos. For a few years now, I've had Canon T3 w/ a Canon Zoom Lens EF-S 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS II that came with the camera and a inexpensive Sunkpak Digiflash 3000 that I got for a few bucks as I wanted to start experimenting with Flash photography.

My goal is to take as vivid and sharp photos as this photographer. I know a lot has to do with technique but equipment plays a important role also.

What is a good zoom lens to start with? I have a feeling the lens I have is mediocre at best.
How does he get such vivid photos? Would they be post-processed?

I am by no means an expert, but I don't think it's the lens (although I'm sure he has some high quality glass), it's the lighting.

A combination of lighting and processing. You can get this look from decent glass, but you really need off-camera light.

Composition looks interesting. Almost like he's an architecture/landscape photographer but the happy couple got in the way.

Also he is using a very small aperture to have a large depth of field. So many portraits and wedding photos you see use they 85mm 1.4 lens to have a paper thin depth with a very dreamy look. Personally I like the depth in these shots but you have to be that much more careful about composition. And yeah, he is using off camera lighting in at least several if not all of those shots.
