Wedding Photography Behind the Scenes with the Sony A7III & RIII 

stayed calm even when the camera wasnt working. clients had no idea :) awesome!

That LOOK you gave Dan!!!! I've had that look a FEW times on shoots.

Thanks for sharing! This is so wonderful bts!

When the groom laughed and she told him not to, it made me cringe a bit. Like, girl! That's a genuine moment. That's the part where you burst 3-5 consecutive shots! Other than that, great video.

3 years .... THREE years I've been searching / watching Videos like this. THIS IS THE ONLY one that was worth it .....every minute through. Thank you for sharing. This is perfect.

Interesting. I get the impression a good wedding photographer needs to be a good director too.

I enjoyed your videos. I shoot weddings for 13 years and it is nice to see someone else's way of shooting... i do have different style then you. I must admit that i was surprised that you were looking at screen on the camera instead of view finder.. that would drive me nuts. I have to use only view finder... good for you though... you dont crash your camera to your nose like I do here and there...😁... again nice video

Please can we have more of such videos..where is the petition page I sign?

These western weddings are so calm and peaceful, Indian weddings are chaotic noisy like a war zone or a heavy metal concert.

Your directionals have helped me see a vision and this video was very calming thank you!!!

Ah man, I was nervous for you when the camera wasn't working...cool under pressure lol nice job!

This is amazing. Dan you just got your channel dominated by Sally and Im saying that in a very positive tone. Love how you guys work judging from this video and I can see how professional you guys handle your clients. You seem to enjoy your work a lot and that is a very good work ethic. more videos please.

i really dig the color grading, honestly.

One of the best, most informative behind the scenes wedding videos ive seen! Thank you so much for sharing, this will help me so much!

Great job to the videographer, those are some beautiful scenes.

Really love how confident you are. I try to be. I'm like nearly there but this video shows just to be a good director and be a director in a nice way

you should make a video about editing!!

Awesome video!! I’m beginning my wedding photography journey in 2021 and this has taught me so much with posing everyone.

By far the best experience for me trying to learn photography. So many points of interest explained...

This is so lovely and joy to watch. Thank you so much for sharing

Great video and I learned so much.

I just got married recently and went through the whole posing routine just like in this video.. haha.. they do it the same in every continent..!!:)

I have a problem with saying "good" wayyy too much during my shoots!

Wow. I think this is sealing the deal for me. I am 20 y/o and I was approached by a friend to do her wedding in November. I have never done a wedding before, but I have 8 months to prepare. I am also looking to upgrade my gear since I want to start a side hustle. It is nice to see that you were doing the photos solo, with no second photographer... Do you have someone else helping you with ceremony photos? going to check out your other vids

Excellent explanations and great soft skills with the clients. Wow. You're hired😁😁

Please do another behind the scenes wedding video!

such a beautiful wedding. Until 9 years later when 70% of them fail. Still very pretty

love this!!! me and my husband work as a team and it can be challenging but love how you portayed an actual day with a bride from the photographers perspective.

This was AMAZING!! You guys are an awesome team! Thank you for sharing this behind the scenes video. I would LOVE to see more behind the scenes videos of you both working together, shooting weddings. My hubby and I are also a Wedding Photographer and Videographer team, so this video really helped give us insight and perspective on how to work well with each other, without getting in each other's shots! (Mainly without videographer getting in the photographer's shots, LOL!)

I could listen to Sally talk all day... What a calm, collected, quietly in charge but steady and reassuring voice. SOOOO much easier to watch and listen to. THANK YOU for posting these videos on here for those of us who are still working towards making enough to afford Patreon. I'd rather sit through monetized accounts with extra commercials any day when it's helping you to put them over here on youtube to help me. I can't begin to thank you enough.

Came here from Tony and Chelsea. You guys make a great couple working together. Awesome pictures, and awesome video work. You make it seem so easy and like it comes natural to you.

So beautifully done and awesome video!! Subscribed

Just Fantastic, especially the way you communicated instructions to the couple! Hey, about what were your settings shooting the couple outside?

Thank you for this amazing video 👍🏻 I shoot only one wedding and I wish I saw this video before it cause now I have so many ideas how to communicate with clients, some new poses and moments. This video is really good. I just want to ask you if you used kit lens ? I mean 24-70mm? Or is it the f2,8 GM lens ? Can I shoot wedding on kit lens ? I mean I have some art Sigma lenses but I need to buy some zoom lens as well and I dont have big budget for it so if its good option to shoot with kit lens ?

This is absolutely amazing, beautiful, and the level of talent and professionalism is so very impressive! Excellent video and snapshot of behind the scenes! Wow, just wow.

I have liked and subscribed.... enjoyed this a lot so thanks mate You obviously know them as I deal with couples as clients and not friends so im less familiar with the language and being ex military more detailed than you are but your style is awesome... keep it up..

Great video, curious if you guys ever shoot in silent shutter just to put people at ease and maybe get more natural reactions and such?

I wish my partner shot weddings with me. She's always nagging about how much I've spent on gear with no money to show for it.

Thank you for the advice! I have my first solo wedding in two weeks and I will definitely use some of these tips ( :

Amazing! More of this please

beautiful shots.....i really like the quality of the videomaking ....superb!

one of the best BTS wedding shoot i have seen so far.. and all those lovely photos

Can u do a video on the start and finish of a american wedding for people like me who doesn’t know much about American wedding photography?

Such a happy bride and groom!! Wishing them the Best Of Luck!!

Loved the video, thank you x

girl you make me live the moment i have so fun watching this video and it's such a amazing shoots i inspired now i love it 😍

Love from India

Thanks very much for sharing this! Valuable information!

You're missing great shots. You make jokes to create a great atmosphere and people relax and smile in a very natural manner. I didn't hear any shutter sounds during these moments. You're missing great shots. You should be taking photos all the time, including when making jokes. The camera should be in Continuous Shooting HI+ to take photos for at least a full second to get that relaxed and natural expression people have when they're having fun. At least the 2nd photographer should be ready and focus on the people, but there's no reason for the main photographer not to do that too. You'll notice you'll get more keepers from these moments than from the staged poses. Great work otherwise. Love your videos.

Sally, you must make this kind of video again. You are confident and your shoot is incredible!

Thank you for posting a real life wedding obstacle photographers dread to have happen, but you kept your calm and rolled with it. Nicely done!

Super helpful posing tips

I'm over here terrified that there isn't a strap lol But seriously enjoyed seeing this

I'm not a fan of Sony cameras but the video is great as just a "how to shoot a wedding" video!

His left shoulder/sleeve was off in the beginning that I was just like: PLEASE TELL HIM TO FIX IT!

Amazing video! And not to mention, the breathtaking photos. More videos like this please! ;-)

I got chills watching this. Those photos turned out amazing

I love love love these behind the scenes! Sooooo soo much! Thank you for opening up and sharing your behind the scenes and what happens!

her communication with the bride was awesome

quick question : minute 10-12, the bride shot in the room, how do you get the subject to lit (besides post) in the room against the bright window? i didnt see you're using any fill flash nor reflector? any tips? Thanks. I love your photos and the way you interact with clients. Smooth~

Would absolutely love to see more videos like this! Super entertaining and informative

What an amazing grass over there! Such great colours! Beautiful shots!

This is a first! Long video hip hip horray...NICE!

you just sold me on the sony

Your way of shooting wedding is awesome

Very beautiful photos!!

Very helpful! What are the focus modes you usually use?

Si impressed about your talent to direct the people 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 I am thinking to buy this Sony for wedding pHotography but I have doubts about the focus mode. It’s intuitive and easy to change the point of the selected focus point??

Hi, Sally. I am Brazilian and I am migrating to Sony (seeing some reviews). I'm loving your videos and very short your work. At this wedding, what lenses did you use? Xo

Great video. I have been asked to shoot a wedding for a friend this July, and I have never done anything like that before. This video was a great help. I normally shoot our kid's band performances. I'm pretty sure their wedding will be small and will not have as much going on as this. Now I know that direction is key. I will watch this video at least once a week until the weeding shoot, to hopefully retain everything. I will make a shot list based off what I saw in this video. Keep up the great work.

17:00 The look of the woman next to you^^ "Who's she talking to?"

Hello there, I am interested in your colour grading style, is it possible to do a video about wedding photos post processing steps?

Such a good insight into wedding photography, loved it!

This is a great video! It gave me so much perspective, since I would love to eventually do photography and or filmmaking for weddings . It’s just super intimidating but this helped me a lot, because it doesn’t seem so intimidating seeing you do it .

I watched this so many times :) i love how you interact with everyone and explains why you do things. Looking forward to watch more of wedding behind the scenes.

Remember when people complain about sony color science? But you and others prove there's really no logic behind that argument!

Wow Looks so esthetic !!😊 The A7III is a very nice Camera, but i wait of the A7iv, or the A7sIII.. Check my New Wedding Film, thanks advance🙂

Great video. Nice Work.

You were SO lucky with the overcast day... They really are a blessing for photography. It's always hot and sunny where I live... 🙄

in love about this video

Your husband does a great job with color grading footage!

You are amazing at your job!

My idol fotographer

Agree that bridal prep, and "getting ready" is what makes me the most nervous, because it's so important, yet so easy to fark up, by forgetting something... ceremony easy as cake, imo. On another note, looks like I'm wasting my time using a mono light for bridal party, and bridal portraits... /sigh.

I dont know if Dan have the time to reply me back and answer my question..😁.. I just wanna ask if your doing this photography session in separate day??..I mean its not the day of the wedding..😊.

Not that my opinion matters. But I shoot Monday through Sat all through the year. I shoot portraits every day for a living. Weddings on the weekends for the last 20years. Just gonna drop some helpful criticism. 1). This shooting in live view is gonna damage your technique. It’s very bad technique to be holding your elbows out from you sides shooting portraits like the groom outdoors. Get away from this amateur mode of holding your camera out in front of you and looking at back of camera like it’s a smart phone. Tuck your elbows back in to your sides. I feel like you started this recently after buying your first mirrorless camera. Abandon this way of shooting or you’ll start to find yourself with tons of camera shake from these modern high res high pixel density sensors. 2) Learn and Start using off camera lighting. This available light stuff looks good sometimes, but her eye sockets were awful. The overcast day without lighting creates raccoon eyes and women are not crazy about this. Her eyes look dead in these images. They’re sunk in and no catch light. The window light shots will show you which direction to go. This is what you want to reproduce outdoors. Directional controlled soft light. I realize there are different styles of photography. But there’s still some rights and wrongs. Dead eyes are not good for any style. I see so often people use the crutch as “I’m a natural light photographer”....which is usually code word for “I don’t know how to use flash” Switching to off camera lighting will give you way more control other entire scene with regards to color, contrast, mood, dynamic range etc. Available light you just get what you get. You have good directional skills and interact well with clients. Appear to have good tike management skills for weddings and attention to details for different shots. Just don’t forget the technical part of the game.

6 minutes in and I'm so happy I found this. I've been shooting weddings on-and-off for half a decade, but I'm looking to launch the business officially in the New Year and this has so much useful information.

Loved it. More videos like this please :)

This is the best video! I learned a lot from you in this. I have my very first wedding next month and I’m so so glad I watched this!!

Great Video and great work from both of you! Wonderful style of Wedding Photography, love it 👍🏻

1:48 This is my No 1 bug bear. I love the LCD on the current Sony's, it is perfect, look how easily Sally just gently eases the screen to make composition easier. Yet if she was shooting with a camera with a flip out screen then, she would have to pull it out with her left hand, twist and re-align and hold her left hand under the LCD...then she needs to look away from where the lens is pointing to shoot. Then as she moves away she would either have to leave the screen out all the time (so it is ready quickly for another low or high angle shot) or with her left hand re-align, twist and put it back in place, then soon after to get another shot...she will need to pull it out with her left hand, twist and re-align...aaaand repeat. So many RU-vidrs are calling for a flip out screen for future Sony Cameras, why? because they Vlog. Proper professionals who film and do stills do not want a flip out screen, it is a burden, a pain, it's conspicuous, awkward and nearly doubles the width of the camera. Please stop asking for the flip out screen. Oh and Sally, a great video.... and goodness me you are so damn cute :)

I'm doing my first Wedding at the end of the month and this video was just what I needed!! Thank you!!

Wish me luck! Tommrow is my first ever wedding shoot. hahah alone that too. This video helped me make notes for poses. Thanks a lot

Great video - thank you for sharing! Please can I ask what lens you are using for the close up shots of the bride’s bouquet?

That was amazing to watch. I was wondering what it is like to be a wedding photographer, and the whole time I thought, this lady is a true professional. Really amazing. thanks!

Subtitulos please español

I also had a total camera fail in the middle of a wedding. But I decided to tell the couple when it happened so they understood my sudden breakup in the workflow. I think they would have questioned it anyway if I was not frank and honest with them, and the fact that I initiated the explanation cleared any misunderstandings. OK; this might not suit all situations, or all couples, but in my case it was the right thing to do.

Big, big thank you

This is such an amazing video, thank you so much for sharing! I love how you are so natural with you direction and posing....I got so many tips! I have just transitioned over from a Nikon D750 to this camera.....what metering mode are you guys using? Thank you :)

Great video, just love watching you guys work :D
