I'm shooting 3 weddings this month, and they aren't my first but I'm still relatively new. I like your solo strategy. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.

@trungthienphan4388 7 лет назад

solo is very hard work

@osikani 6 лет назад

Awesome... My team and I are dissecting this video and making it work for our situation here in Ghana. Weddings can get quite chaotic here, especially with "cellphone shooters" boldly walking up to block your view and crowd the stage/front.... And they wont leave whether ask them nicely or forcibly. They are sometimes very close relatives of the couple. Siblings, aunties and even parents... But I am glad at least we can learn from the positioning and lens selections at every point.

@BuckBowen 6 лет назад

The solo tips were really helpful. Thank you!

@ruslangolubev3984 7 лет назад

Thank you for that video. However, I still have a question, you mentioned in one of your videos that you make a couple of videos, one is pretty much the highlights of the wedding, 6-7 minutes video, and then you also make an extended version for relatives who couldn't make it. Can you explain or maybe make an episode explaining what do you have in an extended video version? Thanks.

@petenicezz 5 лет назад

great wedding tip for ceremony shooting. I been doing wedding video shoot for a long time but been using 1 camera. Now i have 3 camera and was looking for how to shoot with more than 1 camera so your video tip shows me enough. thank you!

@hudsonfilmr910 4 года назад

@pinoykicks 9 лет назад

Can you make a video where you explain the pre-production of a wedding shoot? For example, talking to the clients, then talking to the event coordinator, and knowing if you can move around in the church while the ceremony is on going

@StrangeMagicFilmCo 6 лет назад

I've been out of the wedding scene since the early 80's, when I shot stills on film. But I've just been picked up by a still photographer as his second shooter for video and have my first wedding in two days. I needed to get my head back in the game and be prepared for every possible scenario as a single shooter. I've gotten so much out of your channel this past week. You've helped fill in so many gaps and provided immeasurable knowledge and inspiration for me. I felt compelled to write and thank you for it. I've subbed you on my other channel, which I check more frequently. Many thanks and best regards. :)

@Ahlrrose 4 года назад

By far, the most helpful video on the internet to prep for my first solo wedding film. And I was able to capture alllll and more than I wanted. I did modify it (only because I was able to) I added a gopro hero 7 hidden in the arbor. It captured the whole ceremony in case I missed something and I got decent audio out of it. Craig, big thank you for this (and all of your other videos I have been watching.) I was able to shoot with confidence last weekend.

Very helpful, Thank you! wish I stumbled upon this a couple days ago, shot my first wedding for a friend. Still turned out good, but I'm definitely coming back to this for reference! I think one thing I would add to this would be 2-way radios with earpieces so you can verbally communicate with multiple shooters, granted that you can pull it off. I'll try it out! haha Thank again.

@garyking4032 9 лет назад

Wedding Film School OK, so did the first wedding on the weekend. A lot of lessons learnt, the main one being that I need to be able to react quicker when things don't happen as planned/expected. I had two cameras and lighting setup for the speeches when they started on the opposite side of the venue. And the reception was seriously lowlight (my fresnel hadn't arrived) and shooting at 1.4 was serious admin lol.

@ReverseCycoIogy 7 лет назад

Thanks for the tips, especially the solo tips. I'm going to shoot solo for my girl's cousin wedding. It will be most likely just a highlight video because I don't have proper equipment like a microphone. The reason they want me to shoot their video because they liked the work I've done before. Photography & Videography isn't my profession at all, I just like shooting and editing stuff together. But they like what I did before but It's pretty basic as hell lol but it does show the important things like walking down the isle, ring exchange, vows and kiss. But I'll now try to get some guest reactions too and really walking around the ceremony thanks to your tips. It's going to be nuts but I'm ready. It'll be in Hawaii, I think outdoors, not sure but I'm ready. Thanks!

@LtDeadeye 9 лет назад

Wedding Film School ;) Here here! Apart from my lack of trust for other shooters, I guess my fear is losing creative control. Even if the final product ends up great, I can't be proud of it because it doesn't represent 'me'. Selfish, I know. That's something I'll just have to either get over or remain a small operation for small weddings.
