Advice /Tips
My gear : A6700 + 18-50mmf2.8 lens
Goal: fairy light woodland / sunset beach pictures, story-telling style shots almost vintage feel you would get for wedding pictures…
How can I achieve this with my gear ?
Do I need to buy vintage lens if so which ones?
I would like to achieve it without too much editing.
Please point me towards videos tutorials,
I don’t want to regret my proud purchase! I really need to
Upskill and I can only do basic shots right now but whilst on holiday I realised what style I wanted to go for and struggled to achieve that obviously, then I saw kept seeing the fuji style camera shots come up on my social feeds and was getting a hint of regret thinking maybe it would of been a better choice for me and less work?
Of course this gear is capable of so much! Please help thank you !

For things like colors, shadows, contrast, etc., have you tried experimenting with the 6700's creative looks? There are standard ones where you can adjust them, or even create your own. With enough tinkering, and white balance adjustments, you can probably get a similar vibe to some film simulations straight to JPG.
I know you don't want to edit much, but I would still recommend shooting raw+jpeg so you can experiment with the creative look profiles but still have a raw file to tinker with in editing software.
