How To Shoot a Wedding Ceremony Video | Job Shadow 

"go get my Red" powerful statement

Dude, honestly, you're the only person shows this kind of tutorial that answers all my questions from audio & camera set up in 16 minutes. So much appreciate, man. My respect to you. from Philippines :)

I would imagine your courses are amazing. I've been producing for over 35 years. What I love about your videos is how rapid they are and how many samples you have when you speak of something. I know it's a lot of work and thought process. For me it's like a refresher of what I already know. I would imagine newbys want to stop the video to absorb the information. You can never stop learning. Thank you 8-)

"Go get my red" Dang man casual and powerplay at once 👏😍

That audio guy hair made me subscribe 😂

Just shot two weddings a couple weeks ago and used a ton of stuff from you. I've been trying to keep my colors a lot more clean like yours as well. Thanks Parker.

11:23 you know its serious when he says "go grab the red"

One good tip to add for sound: always record a few minutes of "room tone". This is simply the ambient sound of where you are and will allow you to make smooth edits in your sound as it will provide a continuous consistency sound.

Highly professional, as always.

I'm a full-time filmmaker it was probably one of the best investment I've ever made He has some amazing content on his website definitely worth it if you're looking into it Thanks for everything you're doing Parker

Watching these videos makes me so jealous. Seeing the gear and having clients....it's a struggle in such a over-polluted market.

Nice!! I was filming in a big Catholic church, inside the church looks wonderful... but I think is harder because of ligthing.

Great Job bro...

Your demonstration is world classic, you are a classic example of excellency

Very generous for this man to share his hard work. Wedding coming this Saturday to shoot. This was a great video training to attend!

10:50 woman on the left :O

Your videos are on another level…you are a gem I found on this youtube treasure hunt.

@ParkerWalbeck Compliments. You understand perfectly that you love your work from the wonderful quality of your images !!! Sensitivity to human aspects brings great results! When you were working with Devin, you knew perfectly when you were behind the camcorder !!! Very beautiful the celebration of the great Quentin Tarantino !!!! Thank you, you are really a great !!!

I've shot 10 years as a still shooter and I contract video guys to work with me. Overall this video is really good. The one thing I might change is to skip the wireless mic. The lav is correct (and that placement is genius) but just use a tascam dr-10 or similar device to record into the groom's jacket. Out in the boonies it's cool, but downtown in Chicago those wireless signals are jammed like crazy. Nothing but issues with wireless mics in urban areas. Wireless lav presents a serious risk of the lav audio recording being lost with no advantage. The dr-10 also records at two gains (volumes) to avoid missing important audio. Way less pressure on the lav audio source if the ceremony is miced like this, but more and more I'm seeing ceremonies go unplugged so pressure is on the lav to provide audio.

I've filled some weddings and they are hard! Good for you! 👍💪

DAT SMIRK when he said "Go grab the RED" LMAOOO #same 11:21

Lucas from SLOVAKIA! Great work dude :)

Love the Office mug

Question about filming weddings: how do you deal with hecklers/upset family and friends at the wedding who are angry about you filming or "getting in the way"?

@Parker Walbeck. Great footage, but it seems really intrusive considering the ceremony. I'm sure you had discussions with the wedding party prior to the event. What were their thoughts on that? Great work, and great tutorial.

Come and Take a wedding shoot in India.. So many Specialities in Indian weddings.. You surprised every time in the shoot with colors, Makeovers, wedding stage settings...

Awesome man!!!! I have a wedding coming up. I have two cameras. About to get a third and a few lav mis. You're tutorial is AWESOME!!!

How much time do you have/take to have the full video ready to give to the client?

You are the best. No doubt. I wish someday i could afford this course, looks like all that I ever wanted. Keep it up with the good work! Every video is just perfectly done, thanks for that!

Really cool that you offer all this inside information. I like the way you break it down. Thanks

My little sister's wedding is on December and she wants me to take pictures for her. As an older brother I wanna capture her moments and make it the best for her. These are really good tips for beginners like me, Thanks :)

For reference, how much would you charge for a wedding like that? You do amazing work, but it seems like a lot of time/expenses. Clients in my market are very cheap.

Would really love to see a more indepth video showing the syncing process in PP. That timeline scared the shit outta me!

from India 🇮🇳 big fan of your videos thanks man for making video of glidecam uses

Could you make a video going in depth about filming wedding receptions?

Parker good as hell but the film poets and Kraig Adams are the guys that make it look a lot simpler. Good content

hey parker, i would love to see your raw footage vs graded footage, not a color grading tutorial but just a before and after of both.

The hair toss was epic.

This is next level. Amazing work Parker

You are the only one fan of mine, you inspired me a lot. Can you tell me how to get clear sounds what should I use

Seems like you do pretty much the post production as well as camera man. Is that common and how did you learn how to edit was it through education or are you self taught. Your work is amazing man

I am thinking of gifting a wedding film to my sister as a gift. This was really helpful

Awesome man! Very practical!

Great stuff Parker! Really enjoyed it

Amazing. Also, THANK YOU for stressing audio and going over it a lil

My aunt is going to let me shoot her wedding. I'm quite the amature-I shoot on a m50 but this video definitely helped calm my nerves

I learn a lot from you. You are just an amazing videographer

Hi Parker Welbeck, if you have a team of cameramen, aren't the friends, family and guests just as important to film during the ceremony? Thanks, James.

If you don't do much color grading then what camera profile is best to shoot in? Thank you for your wonderful and educational videos!

Inspirational, educational, entertaining and awesome - as always :) Thanks for sharing!

Very serious preparation. And very professional work. But how to convince the newlyweds that all this is necessary? They do not want to pay much, but they want a good wedding video. A good wedding video is the work of a team of operators. And they need a decent payment.

Excellent Video, Thank You So Much....Ton of tips....Bravo

Parker your last videos were very informative, thank you so much

Hey Parker, always love you job shadows, thanks for sharing! Would love a tutorial showing your process editing the 4k60 footage from the 1dx ii. I shoot on the same camera but my computer struggles with the footage. Do you just dump the clips into your timeline or build proxies?

Nice! Mr Parker. I have appreciated that so much!

Thank you for your wonderful and educational videos! for now i need to improve in my shot

great learning experience

Great tuts man thank you.

Excellent! You are an amazing master! Love your work!

While cinematic all those shots would be a huge distraction. I don’t do weddings but is that the norm to get that close?

wow 1dx for wedding video! you must have strong arms amazing works btw!

Nice

Are using auto focus to get all the focus with that steady cam movement? Amazing work bro!

This will help me a lot just bought s canon 70d and soon to buy a glide cam.

Hello from Aizawl, Mizoram, India. Great video

Nice Video.. By the way, sir can you please let us how you are doing the focusing?? Because you are holding the glidecam in both the hands.. Totally confused!

Thank you for sharing this Parker, Ive learned alot in just one video.

best how to video ever!!!!

Go, grab the red... it's the same with "Go get the bazooka!" :)

Do you usually walk down the aisle with the bride and her dad? Or do you leave that intimate and just walk and wait till the end?

I just found your channel and your videos are so good! Keep them coming :) Brendan makes me laugh..I don't even know why maybe it's because he reminds me of Jack Black

How would you have hid the lav mic on the bride if you had the time/chance to?

great vid! i love your tutorials! keep it up!

LOVE UR STUFF MAN

Unfortunately, in the UK 98% of ceremonies are indoors wished we had that space to work with..

Hey I'm from India and i love you work..

Parker... This was fire.... FFIIIIRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE

DOPE video !!!

wow it's so great i will use those tips too they are so helpful

Bro Grate Job, And God Bless You, And Bless Your All Teams,

Incredibly helpful!

This dude gives mad content!

Did you register your drone for commercial use? Not sure if its really as important as a lot of others make it sound.

What I get paranoid about is during the ceremony where is it ok for me to go as a videographer? I’ve heard never pass in front or behind the alter but I’m seeing differently in this video.

saludo desde colombia, eres el mejor

Powerful statement

Thank you!

Awesome video!!

ow videos are so good

I'm curious how much this job was for the bride and groom. This much gear an crew can't come cheap!!

@Parker Walbeck I loved this video! I watch your videos almost everyday day. I learn a lot from you. I'm just starting out. I've done 2 weddings. With both of the weddings I've struggle with the photographer keeping the bride and groom while they are doing their photo shoots. What advice can you give me on how to get the bride and groom from the photographer to take some shot of them walking holding hands etc. sometimes I feel like I'm stepping on the photographers toes, but I need to get footage of the bride and groom. Have you experience this? What advice can you give me?

I have a wedding coming up where along with the highlight video they also want a full ceremony video. What do you suggest with a two camera set up?

awesome job!!!

Parker...do you film the entire ceremony and provide that to the bride and groom in the final video? How do you do that if you only use the Glidecam? Do most people want their entire ceremony on the final video? Do you provide the raw files to the bride and groom?

"Did you have to invite your fucking felon brother of yours to our wedding?" "Oooops, oh shit was that recorded on my mike?"

that was AWESOME!

GREAT VIDEO!!!!

Great stuff as always! Here's a question: do you run into the vows being so quick and close together, that you can't get to the other side to shoot? Or do you you try to coordinate that with the officiant/couple/planner ahead of time?

Good job i like it !! For me you are the best!!👍👍😉

Very very good !!!!
