Say hello on the socials!

I started photography/videography 8ish years ago. I've recently started the journey of filming weddings. Did my first one a few weeks ago. I recently found your channel and have been binging all of your content. I love it! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Also your color grading is absolutely beautiful in all of your work

[RaphealPersaud]

Find the conflict - Underrated and a little intimidating but worth the reward!

[RachelLee]

CONFLICT - yes - this is exactly what I talk about in a recently film i made too about how I storytell in wedding films

[whateveryoucall]

Thank you Jaired, I was struggling with the edit because I am feeling burn out and this video helped me a lot after watching it. Keep up the good work bro.

[gielaah]

Super appreciate the effort and the apparent passion you have for filmmaking. I think your lessons are not just for weddings but for storytelling itself. Thank you ❤️🙏

[markokovacevic]

Great tips! Never considered having all the music in the same key. Also, "the conflict " is a gem of advice!
Thank you for sharing!

Ooooh yess, songs from the same key! Woww This could be a great subliminal hook! Second, letting moments breathe, I'm gonna be more intentional with this one! Thank you so much J :D

[MrMarclauren]

Awesome!!! No one talks about music key cohesiveness!!
Thanks for the tip!!!

[FranciscoAlvarezTV]

Loved 99% of this video; I even shared it with the videographer on my team. I'm Team Gimbal though, hehe. Adds to the cinematic feel I wanna provide for my couples. I'll throw in some handheld here and there (for the same reasons you mentioned) but I love a good stable tilt and pan all day over wobbly footage. Great video, J!

Nothing beats the creativity of TEAM PHILIPPINES when it comes to Wedding Films.

1. Stop opening with drone shots.
2. Stop using acoustic guitar music.
3. Stop shooting things that the photographer can document (dress, shoes, rings).
4. You don't need the altar kiss as much as you think you do.

Amazing breakdown…analysing the true substance behind wedding filmmaking, proving your real love in what you do and sharing your insights and experience, you remind me of my mentor …thank you

Bonus tip, If the songs aren't in the same Key, and one of the songs is instrumental, you can pitch it up or down to match the key, if one song is it E Major and another is in D Major, you can move the D Major up 2 semi tones, if one is in a Minor key, you can just google what's the relative major key

[BryceDocherty]

Thanks so much man! My wedding films wouldn't be as good as they are if I hadn't come across your channel a year ago. Truly Jaired, I appreciate all you do. Thank you.

[jrmurrayproductions]

Great video! Just what I needed to hear as I work on a wedding edit that I am struggling with today!

[hudsonfilmr]

I’d love it if you could make a video about your handheld skills. How can I develop mine at different points in the day?

[msayweddingfilms]

Finding the best music for my videos is one the most difficult thing to do sometimes il have an idea of what im looking for but finding it is very difficult.

[chrisjamesewoh]

Thank you for all your videos. They are super helpful.

[powellfilmmaking]

This information is GOLD. Thanks Jaired!

[waynelast]

Do you ever survey the couple as to what style or elements they would like to see in the finished wedding video(s)?
