Behind the Scenes from TWO Engagement Shoots! 

YES TO THE VISUAL LEARNERS!! Thank you!!

Katelyn is so good at explaining her thought process behind each of the many decisions she makes during shoots. THANK YOU!!!

Thank you. I’ve learned a lot from this video. I am a professional bird photographer, and we focus so much on keeping the highlights from being blown that it had me so confused why I see a lot of outdoor portraits with blown highlights. Now I totally understand why this is done. I always thought a lot of outdoor portraits used fill flash and kept the highlights from being blown out. It’s great to see that you keep things simple (in a good way) which makes me want to get into portraits more again. The thought of carrying 2 strobes and reflectors around has always turned me off to it, to be honest. I love the idea of available light and this is just the video I needed to inspire me to do more portraits. Thank you

It's 2021 and this is still one of my go to videos before engagement shoots. Love your videos.

I highly recommend it. Katelyn is an amazing teacher. You will learn sooo much about lighting, location, posing, and now editing too! This is real life experience, you see what works, what doesn’t and how Katelyn troubleshoots through the challenges. Get it, it’s the best $$$ you will invest into your own learning. This literally made me 10000% better. Even if her style is not yours, you’ll still learn a ton!

I just found this!!!! I’m very scared of bumping up that iso 😭😭😭. This helped so much!!!

I love this type of video!!! Thank you!!

Love your work !I ❤

Signing up today ❤️

Thx for sharing!

Thank you for this. I think it will help with my back-lit portraits. I've not been paying attention to the light falling on my lens, leading to very washed-out images.

Love the content. Quick question. When shooting with back lighting (without a bounce or reflective light), how are you able to get the faces so nicely lit?

I love all of your videos! But I am really wondering where your cute top is from right now lol! I love the sleeves!

You da best teacher

Hi there! Thanks for creating all of these super helpful videos. One thing I've noticed is that you are often shooting your couples with very low f/stops such as 2.0 and even lower. What impact if any does that have on the sharpness of your portraits when there are two people? Is it less of an issue since they are often close to each other and on the same plane? Thanks!

I just discovered your content and I'm wondering if you have certain presets that you like to edit with?

When is the best time to fotoshooting ??

How do both of their faces come out so sharp for you with such a low f-stop (1.6)?

Love KJ! Have watched all of her courses. Do you shoot these videos in Auto White Balance? There seems to be a lot of flickering going on from that minty tealish color and more of a greener tone whenever you are in the office. You may want to just lock in a white balance. It may just be the natural light changing, but you seem to be studio lit, so I figured the light would be constant.

images were overexposed

I have one question Why people love posing in the grass ?

I watched the whole video and don’t get me wrong, these are very beautiful photos with great locations but they also can easily be taken with an iPhone, or any other basic camera, why? 1. 98% of the image is preset and color grading, the other 2% is photographer on camera. 2. Only depending in natural light is very risky, if we are talking about professional wedding photography, off flash camera is needed at some point. 3. Very over exposure images. 4. Everything is so white and that makes the photos loosing a lot of detail. 5. Every professional photographer that knows the job is never going to say “I am a natural light photographer”, more than a style is laziness to learn how to measure light, when we are taking in a professional level even more if we are charging thousands of dollars for courses and social events, the natural light should not be our only source of light. One more time, photos are amazing but they could be a lot better with all the money that the client is paying and also the students that are also paying to learn.
