FULL WEDDING DAY PHOTOGRAPHY BEHIND THE SCENES 

thanks G

Stop lying.

No specific order. I do have some go to poses in my head for when things are quick and we don't have a lot of time. but its a lot of the time me looking around nd seeing what will look good depending on the location. Something that ALWAYS looks good is hold ing hands walking looking at each other. Also having them lead each other one in front of the other person in front looking back. Big Dress shot is a must on the wedding day I believe we did that in this video in front of the barn! I would go into the wedding with 15 top prompts / poses and then do those at 3 different locations = 45 unique images. AND/OR 15 prompts / poses and capturing those from wide shoot say 20 feet back, normal 10 feet back, and close up 3 feet away from them. This gives you 3X mulitiplyer on ALL 45 of those photos giving you a 135 unique photos with only 15 prompts and poses!!

It’s called “Pocketlite RGB Falcon” on Amazon. It’s blue and the size on a large phone. Does every color and temperature so you match it to the light temp in the room you’re shooting. It’s $100. Lasts about 2-3 hours. Pretty sweet light!

@@Andrewphoto awesome man! One more question I see you shoot on auto ISO does it work pretty good I never tried it or you should be manual or aperture priority with auto ISO? Thanks again

I use a flash with a defuser and also am holding a constant light. Camera settings are 1/200 shutter speed and f1.8 and ISO 2000, then put your flash on TTL (which is auto for flash) and then you can run around and shoot all night no problem! The light defuser is called the Gary fong light sphere, it’s like $90 but work’s incredibly well! Looks like a nice soft box and always gets great even lighting!

It’s on Amazon, I believe called falcon pocket lite RGB it’s like 7 inch and blue color. Has every light color you can create and effects. Super Bright. Last like 2-3 hours. Love that light. I have 4. Only $100. Great for nighttime. Not a great flash light for outdoor photography.

Thank you so much!!

great question, both is the answer. I actually love that little light for my photo only shots. it's kinda like off camera flash but easy and quick option.

I use continuous focus 100% of the time

It's the Pocket Lite RBG from amazon. its blue little phone size light and can create any color or temperature, its like $100 on amazon

Falcon Eyes Pocket Lite

Idk this was in for a minute. I think RU-vid also made the colors a bit different too but yeah this is just a style I guess. I don’t love it anymore. Back to natural colors

35mm prime and 85mm prime. the GoPro is mounted on top of my 35mm. but im using both 35mm and 85mm 1.8 primes. I just got the 35mm 1.4. technically not a real noticeable difference honestly, but im planning on using this lens to capture 90% of weddings. and with a high megapixel camera like 42mp or 60mp with these Sony A7R's they have now, you can easily crop in on a 35mm focal length and get that 85mm look as if you were shooting on a 24mp camera with an 85mm lens. moral of the story, high megapixel camera + 35mm lens = all you need to shoot a full wedding day!

I hold my cameras bottom to bottom against each other as if to join them as one camera and then make sure they are tilted correctly for the photo. And then I hold them both with both my hands and make sure my thumb or pointer finger is on the shutter button. It looks pretty funny when I’m doing it but it gets the job done.

@@Andrewphoto Smart and impressive! Thanks for the answer! 🤩

I have 6 A7 iii cameras. But my main body is now Sony A7R V with a 35mm 1.4 Prime lens

We use that light to fill in some light for photo and video. I asked if she could hold it for a quick second. It’s called the “Falcon Eyes Pocket Lite F7 RGB” from Amazon. It’s $100

Thanks so much

In description

Great question, as a photographer I spend about $25k per year in expenses doing that volume of work.

gross

honestly, no. not even trying to be mean or anything, but reality is to be successful in the wedding industry (at least here in southern CA) most couples are looking for a young attractive fun energetic photographer to capture and compliment there wedding and "hangout" with them during the day. I am approaching 30 years old and ive even noticed a bit of a demographic change as I get older, younger couples dont book me.

@@Andrewphoto not even if I look like Keanu Reeves and can bring down dozen bad dudes 😉

@@Andrewphoto - I did wedding photography in the Bay area for over 30 years. I did my last group of weddings until I was 71. Don't tell me that 30 years old is getting too old!!

Good to hear! Yes id buy a Sony A7 iii as a cheaper option for professional wedding photography. I have quite a few. You can get better cameras if you have budget for it. Any new mirrorless camera canon or Sony or any of the ice cameras these days are more than good enough. It gets to a point where the gear doesn't even matter, if your photos and prompts and what you are photographing is good, thats what makes a good photo. But generally speaking if your camera body is less than $2500 it's probably not a great camera. Full frame is pretty essential for pro photography. I shoot with 35mm prime lens and 85mm prime lens for the whole wedding day. it's the best combo for weddings. As for flash idk just dont go cheap on your gear and you will be in good hands. I aimed for a mid priced flash, basically the more expensive the flash the brighter it flashes, meaning you can shoot flash photography from across the room and have it light up enough for a good photo. Dont go cheap on flash unless you plan on staying close and wanting to upgrade your gear soon after you buy it. Rule for life, you always get what you pay for.

im curious why your name is 10-4a5

It true 😂 this is what people wanted tho. My new stuff isn’t very warm at all. The trends are going back to normal natural colors
