Hey. I recently got asked to film one of my friend's wedding. I just started getting into the filming aspect of being a creative, and they know that. I am so glad that I found your channel because your videos are giving me the confidence to go into it and do my best and not worry about things as much. You truly should have many more subs. Thanks for keeping it real and giving your all into your videos.
It's always a great day when Wayward North uploads a video! Great tips! I always introduce myself to the photographer, and assure them that they are leading the day. It helps them gain assurance that I won't interrupt the intimate moments, but at the same time, I add my own ideas when I see something that would be great for photo/video.
4:50 that's me! 💯 Hate to say it, but I'm done with video teams as well as planners. It's why I now cater to small and micro weddings, to avoid working them. 🙃
Nooooo I’m sorry to hear that friend. I totally get it though and hope that someone amazing comes along to change that perspective. There’s too many videographers out there with an ego for no reason and in this industry, ego should be left at the door. Because we are servants first, creatives second. But I do know that a lot of videographers feel the same about some photographers and maybe one day we can find the balance
Your videos are well made, well constructed and delivered passionately. It has been very informative and useful. Thank you. Keep up the great work. Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦 👋
6:58 Yeah right(obviously not you). Not once has a videographer asked to help with the day. It’s always on us. Hell, I’m getting into video just so I can be creative and not the director of the day. In Cincinnati even when there’s a wedding planner (not all the time, some are pro) running around and relying on the photographer to keep the schedule etc. It’s the only thing I don’t like about weddings and wish there were more of you for collaboration.
This is true. There are so many variables that can truly impact the day/working relationships. If the planner isn't seasoned or does little to no coordination on the day, this can create more stress with the photographer because the bride will rely on them to get them through. Honestly though, the photographer shouldn't have to worry about the timeline and making sure the schedule is on time. That is an event coordinators role but sadly it does still fall on their shoulders. Having videographers that are good leaders and communicators is another factor. The Dream Team does exist!!
@@WaywardNorth Yeah, the reality is far different. I try my hardest to convey that to my couples. Honestly not complaining but photographers take on a lot. I try to make light of it and call out the non helpful videographers. Some of them are on our shoulder all day and out of nowhere I'll say they want to do some of there own stuff. There reactions are priceless.
another point that you could have made on here as well is that your photographer is also your word-of-mouth. I've had a few photographers that were close to a customer and they highly recommended me because they love working with me, I have also done the same for them..
I do not and don’t really believe it’s worth attempting in my opinion. We all run into those annoyances from time to time but for weddings it’s just a part of the day.
