@@iamsamhurdphotography that's right I went in looking to upgrade my sony a7rii as I was saying a dealbreaker for me not having a feature like that, it's only from the a7ii onwards and not all have it
I really loved that this was like a REAL wedding. Not just a “destination/perfect/elopement/bucket list” wedding in REAL locations, not ideal light all the time etc Really appreciated this video.
Let these be free please. Everyone always puts a price on things but I always appreciate this. Plus we pay them indirectly by watching their videos, interacting, and ads.
Holy crap. This video was fire. So many little nuggets of knowledge. I love how simple he keeps his setup too and how he explained his thought process.
Only halfway through but this video is so freaking good. You couldn’t ask for a better behind the scenes wedding video. Nice to see where Sam gets his creative fuel. Thanks Taco Bell.
I am just soaking up every minute of this. This is wonderful, an excellent look into a day with Sam. Also petition to name the conference "The Workshop That We Still Don't Have a Name For" Workshop.
i’ve watched a ton of photography videos but i’ve never loved every single photo taken like i did in this video. i felt like your choice of B&W was also perfect for the photos taken. I’m a beginner photographer but I aspire to take photos as great as you do some day :)
Thank you so much, Taylor, for all your amazing content. My first wedding is tomorrow and I've literally been consuming your videos nonstop for 2 weeks straight. I know my skills as an artist are on point, but I'm a serious introvert and that has been my biggest hang up. You have given me the courage to step out of my comfort zone and just get out of my own way. I'm so grateful for just everything!
Very cool video as someone who has been shooting weddings for 12 years and burnt out (moving on to commercial photography) this was a refreshing video because you pretty much have my same laid back style of shooting and I appreciate that you still love doing it
I think its so important to capture the random things in their homes! Love that you shoot stuff like those flowers for them! Also, not being super strict about the schedule is so key! Love your mindset with that!
Really, genuinely enjoyed this. Sam was so easy going and doesn’t have the “wedding photographer” look. I love it. The photos were beautiful and the fun setups were awesome.
ohhh F***. was it really 43min long? dude this was epic. I have a focus problem but watched this in one go. amazed. very informative and every part, every second of its was amazing. good job man.
Amazing detailed explanatory video! As a starting event photographer I find myself doubting if it’s a perfect shot or worth their money, this video has gave me the confidence to stop over thinking and be the best I could be from now on
Thank you so much for this. You're one of the only creators I've seen that will expose other creatives through you're own channel. Love both of you guys work ! Sam is incredibly creative with his images and thought process 🤞🏽 when you're in New York I got a few pizza spots for yaa
I’ve been to so many workshops and two with Sam Hurd as a speaker. He’s always the nicest, most approachable and helpful photographer at those things. He stands out from many famous wedding photographers with how much he is genuinely passionate about the craft itself.
Great content for aspiring weds photographers. His demeanor and relaxed event workflow is something to take note of. *Sony bodies have had ‘super-35’ or apsc mode for some time. I program it on my top custom buttons or even my lens focus hold buttons for quick access.
I have been lucky to both learn under Sam during one his workshops, the ability to have him capture mine and my fiances photos, and he is one of the calmest people to learn from and know. So cool to see you two work together!
I found this video soooo much more useful than a scripted, slickly produced story. It frankly gave me a mild anxiety attack taking me back to the first wedding I ever shot. Mid to late morning crappy light. Wedding party in various states of composure. Unfamiliar settings. And seeing the results interspersed was excellent. The steam of conscious was perfect. Best wedding shoot video I’ve watched. Thank you.
I love that he listen to VOM while taking pics for a wedding. Besides that though, the knowledge he gives us is pure gold. I definitely need to start following his work. Great Job!
@Taylor - I love your videos in general, but this is my absolute favorite! The direction you have taken with doing interviews and BTS with other photographers has been amazing to see and experience (e.g. John Branch, Photo Me Ike). This one with Sam is definitely one that I will return to for inspiration and to learn from now into the future. Thanks for what you do.
Good insights thank you! One thing Sam mentioned though, that he couldn't switch to Sony because of the lack of a crop mode button: you can definitely switch to crop mode with a press of a button. I do that regularly.
nice! it wouldn't surprise me that it's different now then when i originally tried sony stuff, which would have been pre-2018. i don't shoot sony for other reasons now. i remember they always had the feature, but it was poorly implemented, but i'm glad to hear that's something the've improved on!
This is really great, and is getting the creative juices flowing for my summer weddings! Thanks for the awesome behind the scenes video and the excellent commentary from Sam!
Love this video! Shooting my first real Wedding next Saturday. On Sony you can set a Custom Button to switch to S35 Mode and crop in 1,5 Times as well. But than you only get the cropped version of the image. At least on my A7 III
I truly enjoyed seeing the process in this video. I don’t currently do weddings but this was an encouraging video to maybe start. Also, love his style.
ive watched this so many time now! its such a good piece. informative, entertaining and captivating. id love to know your process of how you did this. almost a bts of the bts hahaha cause you made such a great story!
Thank you sir! I'll be shooting my first soon and gathering ideas. I have great gear with primes, so nice to see you using them. My upcoming wedding shoot is much smaller
Scott Robert Lim is an incredible teacher. Great choice. Also thank you to you and Sam Hurd for this video. Awesome work, interesting tip about the push to crop.

I'll be having my first event shoot tomorrow, its not a wedding but a awarding ceremony cocktail party, where everyone wears fancy clothes. im excited and nervous at the same time! shooting with 50mm 1.4 and 70-200mm 2.8, not sure if i should bring my 16-35 f4 but i think i should, to be safe🤩 wish me luck!🤩
Like someone else mentioned this before me sony a7IV has 1.5 times crop mode feature that you can assign it to the button and its amazing feature :). Just discovered this feature recently and i love it. Transforming fix lens to "zoom" lens is mindblowing :).
Listening to Veil of Maya while taking photos, that is such a clever and cool thing to do. There really is a limit to how many shitty wedding songs one is able to endure 😂 This video is pure gold. Thanks for putting it out there 🙏
36:25 I was reminded this was a Taylor Jackson video. This was a great video! Sam Hurd is cool and laidback. Makes weddings photography look easy. Thank you Mr. Jackson for this video!
Great video. Love your techniques and how you photograph a wedding. Just a shame here in the UK we don’t get as much sunshine as we would like when photographing a wedding.
Merci beaucoup ! Very very interesting and beautiful work ! He is fan of photos through objects 😉 , and sometimes It helps you to hide crap . I am like him very cautious and fond of backup …
17:56 I've got a quick button set for cropping on my A7rIV. Switches instantly, and it's brilliant for video. Gives me two lenses for one, just as Sam pointed out.
ummmmmm hold on. does he know that sony does allow custom cropping? i do it all the time.
Yep, 35mm crop, great feature on my a7iii

My favourite is you, Magic and Sam Hurd!
The edit and their compositions are super nice. 👌🙏
My word, that was special. Should be titled How to make it look so easy! because that's how Sam makes it look. Amazing work from you both! BRAVO!
Nice to see a true Professional at work....the nuance and details (not just in shots but intention) are refreshing to see.
Loved this BTS and insight from Sam. And of course theres a button on the Sonys for cropping ;) I have it set as C1
Really cool one guys. So cool to see the bts! And Sam we’re waiting for a new episode of the podcast ;-)
I love that he listen to VOM while taking pics for a wedding. Besides that though, the knowledge he gives us is pure gold. I definitely need to start following his work. Great Job!
I'm just new to photography and I really like candid shots as well as portraits. This video of bts is helpful, thank you..
I’ve gotten more awesome specific tips and tricks off of this video than years of watching TH-cam.

Thank you so much, Taylor and Sam! Awesome tips and behind the scenes! ❤
Sam has such a calming personality. Great video
Even though I don’t do many weddings these days, I love watching Sam and the way his mind works. It ain’t normal! Great BTS Taylor!
I love this video, love the back light idea too and shooting through holes etc. Thank you Sam x
Sam should do more behind the scenes! Totally love this
Sam's attitude and philosophy during the wedding day are great, kinda aligned with mine but way better! Thanks for a great video.
This was so awesome! Thank you!! …. Love that dog!
He looks like super calm and pro, such amazing personality and music taste.
Fantastic video. I only do hobby street photography, so these sorts of insights really broaden my mind and maybe my courage.

You can also set a custom button on Sony to instantly set it to crop sensor mode. I’ve set mine up as C2 for 1.5x crop
Brilliant video. Love your creativity and awesome relaxed style which puts everyone at ease.
Love the tip on horizontal/vertical as wedding party walks down the aisle

oh my oh my top tip @ 30:26. I'm so doing that with the headphones - but maybe with a more panpipe cover vibe than metal
Sony has the crop feature also, great video
