All of the frames I listed have mounts for front/back fenders as well as brakes and cable routing.
Surly Crosscheck, Salsa Casseroll, Kona ***** Tonk, maybe Jamis Beatnik.

Your use of "photo equipment" is a little too non-specific. I'm not saying strap your fanciest glass to the rear rack and hit the cobbles.
Things like reflectors, stands, and tripods are akward to put in a bag, and will be fine with a little road chatter if you strap them to a rack.
