Preserving precious, romantic memories for tomorrow with Vin Buddy and the Alpha 7 IV
Renowned wedding planner and photographer, Phurith Netimonkholchai, better known as Vin Buddy, has photographed various happy newlyweds all around the world, even for celebrity couples. Every tender moment and blissful expression is deftly captured, chronicling a monumental stage in everyone’s lives.
To me, memories are important because they come and go in a split second. After that, they will be gone forever. I believe that it is my duty as a photographer to preserve these precious memories for tomorrow as clearly as possible.

The growing importance of a hybrid camera
As a wedding photographer, Vin is more accustomed to using hybrid full-frame cameras as it gives him the flexibility to switch from photography to videography easily. The versatile and adaptable Alpha 7 IV allows Vin to support his team as a videographer after capturing important moments in stills.
“I work with a small team, where everyone is well-rounded in both photography and videography,” he said. “We have to be adaptable and versatile to meet the demands of the job, and so has to be the camera that we use. We’ll need all hands on deck to capture every crucial scene, so that we won’t ever miss a moment.”
Capture stills and movies without compromise
With the Alpha 7 IV’s 33MP image sensor and new real-time tracking autofocus, Vin is able to track and capture the blissful expression of happy brides in greater detail as they walk down the aisle.
I’ve been waiting for a 33MP image sensor for a long time. It’s just the right file size for photographers, be it for wedding photography or event photography. We can work faster and crop an image tighter without losing too much detail.

The Alpha 7 IV also comes built with ‘Active Mode’ optical image stabilisation, which provides reliable support for handheld 4K up to 60p movie shooting. This helps Vin a great deal in nailing his shots at rapid speeds.
To Vin, the best thing about the Alpha 7 IV is how it allows him to focus his creativity on taking beautiful shots while the camera takes care of the rest. The experience left Vin extremely satisfied with the Alpha 7 IV’s imaging capabilities.
“Photography is a way of sharing happiness with the world,” Vin said. “A good camera enables us to take beautiful shots and its ease of use makes us happy. This gives us the means to capture beautiful memories for others, that make them happy in return.
Helping to capture every beautiful moment is the Alpha 7 IV’s 15-stop wide dynamic range, which allows Vin to recover amazing details in post processing no matter what mode he’s shooting in. The all-new next generation Bionz XR image processor allows the camera to shoot more than 800 frames at up to 10 fps with AF tracking and record 10-bit videos with 4:2:2 colour sampling.
I can’t describe how happy I am that Sony has produced such a versatile hybrid camera that allows me to capture breathtaking stills and record high-quality videos at the same time. This allows me to shoot confidently in any situation, always.
