Yes, please! I'd love to watch your behind the scenes inside the church photographing without using flash as I also don't use flash during the entire ceremony except for the pictorials right after ceremony is done. I'd love to know more tips, I'm just a newbie! :)
Awesome! I love the step by step explanation and the settings along with the lens! That is like someone said, GOLD! Thank you for being so generous and finally sharing a true insiders explanation and the technical aspects of the shoot! This helps tremendously!~
Joy Michelle Photography I have been doing photography for years and finally taking the next step to see if I enjoy it to turn it into a career, nervous but excited!
Hi there! I just found you! and I am amazed! thank you for every detail, I'm a newby so woooow I would love to learn from you, is it ok if I make some questions? like for example, I've seen the last hour that I've been watching your videos that you take a lot of shots, do you give them all? or they get to pick or do you offer like a package, I mean, like a business how do you do it? I'm trying to start something (I'm from Mexico) I lost my job because of the COVID-19 so I'm trying to plan something to survive once this gets controlled... I love taking photos and I thought this could be a good idea! I've a T7i canon, 24 mm pancake lens, 18-55 mm and a 55-250 mm... do you think I can do something with it? I'm worry because I've no flash, just the one that comes with the camera, and I don't have a lot of pro gear and at this point I can't afford anything else than my rent and food... My head is a mess I'm afraid I'm not good enough and I've read a lot of things about this but I think it's best if I ask an expert about it, how did you start? how did you know how much to charge? do you enjoy it? sorry for the bible but I'm really excited / scared lol hope you can answer, thank you so much! new sub here!
So glad you're finding these videos helpful! I don't deliver all the images. I do a cull of the images and only edit and deliver the absolute best. I have a video on my channel all about the culling process if you are interested :)
Hi there. I know I'm 3 months late but I'd like to add something for you. Any camera nowadays is good enough. For your situation, I'd suggest you ditch the zoom lenses and get a 50mm 1.8 (DSLR lenses are cheap nowadays especially used). Your 24 and the 50 should be quite a good combo. Having another body would help also so you don't have to change lenses but if you can't afford it, just go with your single body and your 2 lenses. Just practice changing lenses quickly. And to start, just do small events like birthdays. The great thing about birthdays is it's not hectic like weddings and you generally just stay at the same venue. It's a great place to start practicing photography and saving up for better gear. Best of luck!
I have my first wedding to shoot this Saturday and you have NO IDEA how much your videos have helped me and given me an actual visual as to where I need to be placed and how I should see things. I would love to see a video of how you balance capturing both the bride and the groom getting ready that are getting ready in the same location, just separate rooms.
I’m so glad this was helpful for you!! Typically I don’t shoot both the bride and groom by myself. I would have a second shooter cover the guys. But if I *had to* squeeze them together I would do the guys details then make sure the guys were 80% ready and just doing cufflinks and ties and stuff when I get there. Guys are soooooo much easier and shouldn’t take as long to shoot
There are many photographers with a RU-vid channel but I always end up learning the most things from Joy! P.s. Does anyone know where the backdrop for the stationary photoshoot comes from? ♥️
Great video! Where did you get the background that you shot the details of the ring and invitations on? It looks like an extra large piece of card stock with a beautiful neutral texture. Or maybe where can I find something similar?
Nice video and tips! The only thing i notice is that ur photos are very overexposed, u cant really separate the subject from the background, maybe is just your style, ive seen it with other photographers work too, i just think is too much, but if you clients like it, go for it!
Love your videos, appreciate it. I struggle with finding shoes that are super sexy and dressy but comfortable for all day wedding, with that being said, I love your shoes, is it comfortable? Would you recommend it? Odd question I know :)
This is actually a great question! The eternal wedding photographer shoe issue 😂😂😂 these are from DSW and are comfortable for a bit, but not all day. I haven’t found ANY flats that are cute and comfortable all day honestly. What I normally do is switch to a different pair of flats for The reception. Just by changing them to something else, it relieves the pressure points and feels better. My assistant likes crocs flats. I’ve heard good things about rothys too
Joy Michelle Photography The mat makes a huge difference to the flat lay look .. I’ll look into KISS 😀 It’s a real art to get flat lays looking good.. Thank you for sharing your great knowledge 🙌
@@Joymichelle Where do I begin - well, you're workflow as a whole, for one. I like how you photographed the smaller details like rings, shoes and stationery first before moving on to other shots. Loved the tip of photographing the details in both portrait and landscape orientation so that we have versatility when putting together photo books (that was a massive pro tip for me as I am just getting started on doing those for clients, so it was such a good heads up/tip!) Your tip for which lenses to use is also super helpful and it was nice to see your balance between directed shots and more candid ones. I also really liked the tip of doing less formal portraits with the bride and her parents. So, yeah, all that to say that basically, the entire video was really helpful!
@@Joymichelle I'd love to see a first look, or getting all the family shots, or the groom getting ready...any of it. Lol. I know anything you give us will be fantastic!!
