Shooting my first wedding next month. I made it very clear that I am not a professional. I do photography as a hobby, but looking to get into the wedding space. Its a small wedding and the most important photos to them are photos with their JP and family group photos. Charging $100 per hour. $500 for 5 hours. They are super excited and say that I am exactly what they are looking for. Hope all goes well.

This is a life saver for me! One of my sister's friend's is having a wedding in 4 days and their photographer canceled today. I was asked a few minutes ago to do them since I take photos occasionally

@1990GreenAngel Год назад

This helps a lot!! Thank you! I’m going to do a second wedding photo shoot and I’m nervous. I needed tips! My first wedding shoot was a year ago! This feels like a first time again!

Thank you, really like your # 10 Tip. Trying to get into weddings photography, what lens do you recommend work the best ?

@brandikins11 5 месяцев назад

I narrowly pulled off my first wedding last week. Client just left a stellar review today. I thought I was ready for any problem…but I wasn’t. 1. Unless you absolutely must, avoid silent shutter mode. Nearby LEDs caused slight orange bars/color banding during the ceremony. I was completely unaware that this was a thing. I quickly caught it and was able to correct in post, but I wish I had known about it ahead of time. If you must use silent photography, get a tripod and shoot at 1/00s or under to minimize or avoid banding. When I noticed the orange bars on my ceremony photos while it was occurring I nearly shit myself. 2. Unless you know your flash supports HSS, make sure to cap your shutter speed with flash at 1/200s. If faster and your flash doesn’t support shutter speeds beyond that, you can get curtain drag where half of the sensor is dark. Happened to me; I quickly switched out the lens to stop the issue. I was panicked during my shoot but I’m lucky it still turned out okay. Best of luck.

@@lewishall2901may be a little late aswell, but how did it go 😁

@jerrym8140 Год назад

So many useful tips in just a short amount of time. Anyone on the fence about Slr Lounge education… the information Pye shares is just a taste of what you can learn or even be reminded about. Also thank you Adorama for having such amazing educators sharing their knowledge. 🙏🏻😁

@BlueBass2 Год назад

Always great advise Pye, thank you! If I could add a #11 it would be to never be afraid to ask someone to “do something again.” The number of moments I miss at every wedding is pretty high, but I decrease it when I ask my couple or anyone else to do something again if I missed the shot.

@fixxforlife1569 8 месяцев назад

just don't ask them to do too many things again

@nextgenerationtogeneration845 5 месяцев назад

you are so right

@kynkokytsumi1931 5 месяцев назад

Just been asked by a collegue to photograph her wedding ... scared but honoured to do it ... havnt said yes yet though but I am seriously concidering it and videos like yours help me

@torresphotoco 11 месяцев назад

That last tip I would have never thought of! I’ve been asked by many to shoot their wedding because of my landscape, city, macro photography and I was always too nervous. This is definitely how I will approach it next time I’m asked!

@georgescanvas 10 месяцев назад

Very solid advice !! ....And you can tell it comes with experience . . . .

@lupeflores1930 Год назад

I use to shoot weddings back in the film days. I always had to bring multiple cameras and flashes because there was only 1 roll of film in a camera. Love that today we have dual card slots! No more 36 exposure limitations today! Autofocus! ETTL flashes! So much easier and now can focus more on the creative side of the wedding. Things have sure improved for wedding photographers today!

@bryantde123 2 месяца назад

There is so much I agree with in this video. I was trained in a lot of the same ways you are telling everyone. This is such good advice and such a good reminder to keep in mind no matter who you are. I explained the value example from the beginning to so many people and they always say I’m “short selling” when I see it as a resume builder. I’ve shot 100’s of events, but not weddings, I need to be established as a wedding photographer before I can charge what I am worth. This is such a positive and well spoken video

I really love what you do and how you teach your craft. Also like your t-shirt by the way, the complete set of Visual-Flow have become my main presets for Lr.

@robbyjai Месяц назад

as an experienced wedding photographer who charges $10k+ per wedding these are very good solid advice. I second these advice. Follow it. My only other advice is get to know the couple. Build a bond and a relationship with them. It makes the day more fun and enjoyable and they will appreciate you more. Also keep things simple. Until you have the experience dont try and do fancy stuff. it will fail.

@hogg1media627 Год назад

I've been hired to shoot a wedding. the person who hired me has been following my photography growth ( not even a full year experience) and has seen what im capable of. im more of a videographer than a photographer. but, they like my style. i only have a few outdoor car and motorcycle events under my belt and i charged 2k simply because just shooting and cutting... is two things. color grading is another. and then creating a final video of the day can take a few days depending on how much you shoot. and i OVER SHOOT! i have a nikon D3200 wit a 24mm (36mm on my crop sensor) Nikkor vintage lens and i have a 35mm kit lens which is a 52mm on my crop sensor! and i feel confident due to the fact that they just want me to shoot exactly how i already shoot! in essence, they are hiring me for my style more than their fantasy. thank you for this video it does help little guys still starting out.

@kindface 9 месяцев назад

Love your tips. They sound like common sense but we know CS is dearly missing these days. More importantly, they are practical insights and once you explained them, it's obvious you know your stuff. I'm a "professional enthusiast" (LOL, ie... enthusiast all my life) and had been to one particular wedding where I got so involved in taking snaps on my iPhone that after the wedding, the "real pros" when put on the hot seat by the client for not delivering enough good shots told them "there was this one particular guest - ME! - wielding his iPhone all over the place" who blocked most of their shots/videos. When this was brought to my attention, I didn't protest at all as the client was pretty cross with the whole thing. But I've been a practising enthusiast - errrr, pro enthusiast - long enough to know that's a lame excuse from anyone purporting to be a pro wedding photographer. If I'd been in the way, why didn't these pros said anything (DIRECT the situation, per your Tip number 10) until they came up short with their client? Is it a prerequisite for "pros" to have zero situational awareness at a wedding gig?

@drrous9917 10 месяцев назад

Great Content as usual. No fluff. The only sad thing is that we can’t hire Pye for $500 as a second shooter. 😂

@KrunchyJD 8 месяцев назад

Thankyou, have been photographing for a while, first wedding shortly. I have a cannon 5D mark iv hope this is okay...

@somchai3366 Год назад

Signed the contract is very important too

@edi18912 10 месяцев назад

Do you advise for the ceremony to go with a monopod/tripod or stay on my gimbal the whole time for my first wedding?

@dymone4894 Год назад

Excellent tips and love the idea of hiring a pro as a second shooter. Would it be as beneficial to offer your services to a Pro, preferably outside your planned area of focusing your business, for a low cost or free just to get some time watching the way they work the job?

@L__85436 Год назад

Hey, I will be shooting my very first wedding in a few weeks. Currently, I own a full-frame camera with a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens, a 70-200mm f/4 lens, a 50mm f/1.8 lens, and an APS-C camera with almost the same lenses, except for an ultra-wide-angle lens. I was thinking about renting an 85mm f/1.4 lens. Do you think it is necessary, or will I be fine with my current gear?
