How to film a FIRST LOOK at a wedding

Ever film a wedding where the couple wants to see each other before the ceremony? That's called a first look, & this is how to film one!

And yes, this means I have another wedding behind the scenes series! This one will be a bit different though; instead of filming one massive BTS, this one will be split up into smaller topics like this one.

Music licensing sites I recommend:

I’m required to state that I'm a part of affiliate programs for Amazon, B&H, SoundStripe, ArtList, and Adobe - AKA - I make a bit of $$ when you click on those links in my video descriptions. It costs you nothing, and helps me grow my beard. :)

The groom is already balling before he even sees her!!! That's sweet as hell

excellent back ground story.. I think you are the only who covers this topic with honesty.. Hats Off.

So this can actually be done by ONE person, just panning around and moving around as well. Gotcha!

BTS videos are good. Wedding BTS are great. Wedding BTS with Matt are the ones I could watch all day long!

Awesome job Matt, although 5 years ago, I’m just seeing this, but just started doing weddings this year. I’m watching tons of your content and fully subbed in.

Who knew that beard size is an exponential power in the awesomeness equation of YouTube tutorials.

Love this video. I think a lot of photographers and videographers don't know how to make first looks... or set those up... so good topic!

hello matt, i saw the settings at time stamp 5:01, at 60fps...were there no audio vido sync issue?

This is the way I do most of my reveals. I love when my couples decide to do first looks.
