Some of the most concise and helpful information for first time wedding photographers, I still have ptsd from shooting weddings, but watching this video brought all the good memories back.
Thank you for mentioning the part about being aware of guests and not using a wide angle for key moments like vows. I've seen so many wedding media people act like a wedding is their personal styled shoot with absolute disregard for everyone else. Sadly, the worst case I ever saw was a photographer that claimed to have 16 years of experience...
Oof yeah… it’s a debate for sure. I just don’t think “that shot” is making or breaking your client expectation and relationship, but it’s definitely breaking your future prospects by being obtrusive. But hey - if you promised your client that angle then I guess you gotta go for it 😝
@@VanessaJoy I agree with you about eating and drinking. At my friend's wedding the photographer, who I was told just graduated from a photography school, was sitting and eating on one of the tables not paying attention to what is going on or taking photos as she should be doing. We didn't like that
Wow.. wow. Listen.. I'm as brave as they come... but this level of production is.. to be honest intimidating to me.. granted I'm now where near the level I would even consider doing a wedding. But IF... I was this video of yours super, super informative.. thank you so much.. for sharing..
I just looked and the only link I saw broken was this one: vanessajoy.com/wedding-day-timing-how-to-make-the-most-of-your-wedding-day/ Fixed that one. Did you see any others?
And to reply so soon! ❤❤ seriously, some have Never replied! Must be daunting to keep up with! I’m a canon fan as well (since my very first Cannonette 128, as I remember it! Mom thought I’d get more out of it as compared to my dream of AE1 at the time!… took me years to finally get that, still have and use it!). Thanks again, love love everything you share!
Great video as usual ! Although I have like 15 lenses, I only take my Sigma 35 mm f1.4, Canon 85 mm f1.4 IS and Canon 100 mm f2.8 macro IS to weddings. I don't want to carry a heavy 70-200 mm f2.8 all day. I take 2 cameras : 5DIII and R6 and 2 flashes/strobes and lightstands and softboxes. And plenty of cards and batteries. Last wedding I did, I traveled by bike and was faster everywhere than all the relatives/guests that arrived by car (it was in Belgium :-) ). I could carry all my gear on my bicycle !
@@jamesburne3893 I don't get this comment... This video targets FIRST time wedding shooters. As if you went to your first wedding shoot without some sort of guidance... This was helpful for FIRST time wedding shooters. Clearly the target audience here isn't veterans in the wedding scene..
Weddings are you kidding me, the first thing I'd need is my head examining, I'll stick to Stately Homes , Aircraft sales ,offices, apartments photography. No way am I straying to the darkside 🤣🤣❤
Great video. One question...highlight priority...isn't it only for jpgs like picture styles etc? I thought all those image settings in canon do not affect raw?
Thank you Venessa for the wealth of information. Though I am not a wedding photographer ( I am just can amateur ) I still get family members asking me to be the 2nd unofficial wedding photographer,. How I see it as the free wedding service, ..! Lol I do not mind as I still get to have fun and enjoy the day.
awesome video as usual. You had mentioned for a second over there about South Asian (Indian) weddings... Would be nice to see some behind the scenes for one of those weddings as you know they are very different from traditional weddings and there are not a whole lot to look at on youtube.
@@VanessaJoy thank you for these videos by the way. You give invaluable expertise and information. I’ve learned about so many new products and have bought many because of your vids. Great work, we notice the amount of effort that you put into these. I do notice when you work you tether sometimes. This is something I also want to start doing. Video idea? Anyway keep being amazing!
