I’m shooting my first wedding next week. I’m was a bit scared and overthinking everything but watching this made me know I could do this!

[BennyWeiler]

Love these tips! I filmed my first wedding less than 2 years ago. It was nerve racking but survived. Planning and having a structure really is wo helpful. The more you do it the more tricks you learn that works for you along the way

Great video 🙌🏽 I’m shooting a wedding for the first time and I’m a bit nervous, but this def helped.

I shot a wedding yesterday. I’m a novice with some but not much experience. Made some mistakes but was mostly happy with it. I find it hard knowing where to put cameras for the ceremony and the speeches. I had 2 locked off and was using one myself, panning around etc.

shooting my first wedding tomorrow and I have the R6 aswell. Two questions, do you recommend using IBIS for video? Also, should I shoot in CLOG? Great video

[dejavufilmsbyday]

This is just what I needed! I loved everything about this video and will be rewatching a few times to get ready for my first ever wedding this April! I am brand new to cinematography and have never shot a wedding and also flying solo. A family member works for the vendor, and the photographer is a friend. So win win! I love shooting minimally. I usually use 35mm or 50mm prime lens. Would you recommend having a zoom lens? I would love to see an essential gear list if you'd share that. I know you mentioned 2 of everything. Like I said, I am just starting. I'm also wondering if I could get away using my Samsung S20 plus for 2nd camera on tripod? So many questions! Following and subscribed!

Yes most def, im also a solo wedding videographer, and I agree with all of this. great job

[kthx]

You're so right on the static camera + a floating camera! This takes the pressure off one camera having to capture it all and provides all the coverage needed for the edit. The static camera captures a 3-shot of bride, groom and officiant during the ceremony, with the free-floating camera capturing reactions and over-the-shoulders of the bride and groom during the vows. 2 camera coverage is great during toast speeches as well.

Does my DJI mini 2 and iPhone 11 Pro Max + OSMO mobile 3 enough for a filming test? 😎
Btw, thanks for the tips! 😎

[FinesseMediaPro]

Thank you so much for these helpful tips. I’m a total noob to filming and wanting to learn all I can. I primarily photograph, weddings, sweet 15’s headshots, school portraits, family portraits, maternity and events. No I want to learn the video side and am super excited although am a lil clueless but I’ll get there eventually 😂

[Shanecohen]

My biggest nerve is being in right place at right time.. boutta film first one today

[jalenmoore.]

Super helpful…I’m a wedding photographer but recently just took on my first wedding video and super nervous

[AdventureMuse]

Thanks for making this! Great tips! I"m filming a wedding this weekend and plan to have two cameras, one on a tripod with the audio for the ceremony, and the second on a gimbal. roaming around, but listening to you, I might just do handheld. The A74 does pretty good handheld at 120/60fps. No so great with panning or walking.

What you used to color grade that footage you recommend any luts or preset

[furkandemir]
