I always come a couple of hours early, you don't know what can happen, the room name is wrong and you can't find the actual venue, yes it happenedto me. You also need time to get all the environmental shots and spend time perfecting them. Always give yourself breathing space, because once the bride arrives, it is Go Go Go......
Basically B roll is king. I noticed myself as alot of my inexperienced 2nd shooters tend to shoot the main moments and immediately stop after. I hate this because they miss the best parts. Nothing good cant fix but I see a connection with your video. Dope!
Awesome video thank you for this knowledge you’ve been giving this industry for years. I really like your tip on right after the ceremony and following them. I always try to follow them, but sometimes stop a little too early. Definitely will be focusing on this.
Thanks so much David! I typically use 1 camera with a 24-70 sigma art lens for most of the day. Then for Ceremony I'll use around 5 cameras. 1 Wide, 2 Tight, 1 handheld, and 1 on the gimbal.
Great stuff! Since alot of times the portrait session is dictated by photogs, I find sometimes the best moments are before or after a certain pose/action. That's why I always start recording before the photog gives a direction and keep recording a bit after
