@@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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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’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 :)
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!
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.
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
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 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!
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 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.
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!
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.
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 it, would love that you touch the topic of pointing the flash, how when and why. At the dance floor I can see its pointed back, but how do you determine that? I'm new at using flash so Im looking for info everywhere I can Also what settings do you use? manual, high speed sync?
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
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!
that's true! it's always been a feature, but I tried jumping to Sony mirrorless up until about 2018 and even though they had in-camera cropping it was horrrrrrrribly implemented. maybe it's better now, but it used to be awful! then canon launched their mirrorless system and I was hooked.
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.
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!
17:52 : Canon great for having a quick button for in-camera cropping?? You can customize any button to in-camera cropping in Sony cameras. What are you talking about??
Interesting that you still use the original canon strap. Been watching a few YT overviews of wedding photog coverage many have migrated to using 3rd party ones haha. Also is there a specific thing the glass at 37:27 is called? Looks like a cool thing to get for creative shots!
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
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

Came into the comments just to look for this. I was going to say. Now he can switch over to a real camera 😝

Hah! Thanks man! I still don't recommend trying Sam's Taco Bell warm up

'tis the reality for almost every wedding! it's actually a rare surprise whenever i get perfect light AT the right time, haha.
@@iamsamhurdphotography honestly so true. always dreaming of the sweet golden hour that makes up 1% of our work.

Bless you, both. Taylor for the great shooting/editing/flow and Sam for letting us come along. Made my day.
looking at this video this is who I want to be when I get older. I really like he uses creative styles and doesn't just take the normal pictures!!!
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

Love it. Such a calm presence on the day and some awesome pics to go with it. Great video as ever!
Really cool one guys. So cool to see the bts! And Sam we’re waiting for a new episode of the podcast ;-)
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!
Nice to see a true Professional at work....the nuance and details (not just in shots but intention) are refreshing to see.

Man.. you guys are suckers… for making this free ❤️
Thanks for this, loved it
This was so awesome! Thank you!! …. Love that dog!
really loved all the things....the creative photos and your chill storytelling kind of vibe..& also the people we're really looking very wholesome❤
This is an amazing video that covers the bts so broadly! Really fantastic and unique!

This is super helpful!!! It's always great to see how other photographers work.
Wonderful video! Thank You Sam and Taylor!

Loved this BTS and insight from Sam. And of course theres a button on the Sonys for cropping ;) I have it set as C1
Oh yes, super nice!
My favourite is you, Magic and Sam Hurd!
The edit and their compositions are super nice. 👌🙏
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!
Sam has such a calming personality. Great video
My gosh this is fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing this. Sam is amazing.
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!
Sam should do more behind the scenes! Totally love this

Thanks for this behind the scenes! Great insight on how he thinks and photographs a wedding.
Fantastic video. I only do hobby street photography, so these sorts of insights really broaden my mind and maybe my courage.
What a great video! Thank you so much!!
Excellent guidance. Thank you for sharing.
Love this episode. Those details from experience are real helpful. Thanks!
Loved this video Taylor my man!! You never disappoint!!
Happy I was able to do this with him!
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!
Thanks so much for this video, so helpful and possibly the best behind the scenes video from a wedding I've seen so far.
Thanks Taylor & Sam - that was awesome! Useful and FUN as always! You guys rock
I’ve gotten more awesome specific tips and tricks off of this video than years of watching TH-cam.
Thanks for sharing. I appreciate the insights. I can only aspire to be that relaxed and totally in control.
love it, would love that you touch the topic of pointing the flash, how when and why. At the dance floor I can see its pointed back, but how do you determine that? I'm new at using flash so Im looking for info everywhere I can
Also what settings do you use? manual, high speed sync?
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
Amazing and gorgeous! Loved it! 💕🙂
This is so wonderful and inspiring! Thank you both!
Thank you for this amazing video.
Wowww love love loved this video!!! More of this please 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 so good
Sam's attitude and philosophy during the wedding day are great, kinda aligned with mine but way better! Thanks for a great video.
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

VERY keen to see this! Thanks for the upload!!!!! 🎉
Man, thanks for this!! Really cool and insightful video! Love it!
this was great, got a lot out of it. much appreciated
How cool was that! Thanks for sharing!
I've been waiting for this for long time ... Big fan of Sam Hurd thank you TY ❤️
Yes you program about any key to aps-c on Sony
that's true! it's always been a feature, but I tried jumping to Sony mirrorless up until about 2018 and even though they had in-camera cropping it was horrrrrrrribly implemented. maybe it's better now, but it used to be awful! then canon launched their mirrorless system and I was hooked.
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
18:18 Thats a great tip - Gonna have to work on that "2 camera" operation
what bag is he using? that sling looks great
23:42 it's the incase sling bag
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!
He looks like super calm and pro, such amazing personality and music taste.
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.

Soo good. Super thorough down to every detail.
he seems like such a chill dude, also looooved this location, would be a dream to shot at venues like that
This is amazing! Thank you so much for making this video accessible! A great way to start seeing how shooting weddings could be like!
Love the tip on horizontal/vertical as wedding party walks down the aisle
17:52 : Canon great for having a quick button for in-camera cropping?? You can customize any button to in-camera cropping in Sony cameras. What are you talking about??
i'm talking about sony pre-2018. read the other comments!
left handling the 24mil is so freaking great tip :)
thanks for this taylor
18:19 for anyone wondering. I was going to put this tip at the start of the video haha but it didn't flow properly
I love that idea but how does he keep focus on moving subjects.
Interesting that you still use the original canon strap. Been watching a few YT overviews of wedding photog coverage many have migrated to using 3rd party ones haha.
Also is there a specific thing the glass at 37:27 is called? Looks like a cool thing to get for creative shots!
Ok, LOVED this. And the thought of you secretly listening to metal while taking reception photos is cracking me up.
Absolutely incredible content. Sam is one of a kind. You guys killed it
Really enjoyed this. thanks for sharing!
THIS IS GOOLD!
Thankyou Taylor!
Cant wait for another artist.
This guy is a Real Pro and his work shows it.
Thank you so much, sir
This is a beautiful class, !
Thank you again sir
