Another behind the scenes with me! This time I'm taking you guys on an in home session I did just a couple of months ago! I had only met this couple once before this session and since then I've photographed their wedding!
You'll get to see how I direct couples in a completely different environment. I love doing in home photo shoots because it's generally a lot more relaxed. No one is watching and it's easier for the couples to just be themselves! Plus getting these intimate photos in their forever home is such a great idea to start with.
These photos were taken on a Nikon D810 with a 35mm f1.8 lens and a Nikon D750 with a 24mm f1.8 lens.

IN LOVE WITH YOU! I stumbled across your couple direction video a couple of weeks ago and was devastated when I realised it was only one of so few of your videos. Keep them coming, you are incredible!!!
thank you!!
These are amazing and just so incredible. Creating the most organic and life like photos that even I would cherish for a lifetime!
Thank you for sharing this! It is very helpful. I´m a wedding photographer but I will do my first In Home this weekend and was very very nervous about it! Your video gave me a lot of confidence. You are an amazing photographer btw!
I LOVE SSEEING DA WAY U TAKE UR SHOTS
amazing video Becca! :D
What settings are used? And no speed light for indoors?
I love this but why are there so many feet shots lmaooo
You are amazing! Please do a video about settings and how you keep your focus so sharp with all the movement!
i would love to see your editing process on a few of these!!
This is very helpful and I am so lucky I found your channel. I think its very unique because I have never seen any photographer show a real BTS video that shows incredible amount of poses and how they communicate with the client. Today I did a shoot with a couple and thanks to your videos, I was able to feel confident to give directions to them! PLEASE show more of these
I love these! You're an absolute natural at this!
These are really helpful and your awesome for giving us free content!
I LOVE these videos. So so helpful! You are amazing at directing
They are so cute! I love watching the direction you give couples!! Thank you for your videos!
Can't believe how helpful this was. Thank you. Would love more!
One more video to "Before any shoot" watchlist... Love it as usual... ♥
I really love your videos and you are so talented at giving direction! One of the best that I have seen. Can’t believe I’ve only come across you recently!
one of my fav photographers! always has such a creative eye! love your style :) excited for more videos to come!
Your vidoes are really amazing, thank you for taking the time to share! Also, I honestly cannot believe how many beautiful locations in Nashville you've show! Gorgeous.
Beautiful work, absolutely loved this!
Binged all these this morning!! MORE MORE MORE🙏🙏☺️
they are the most stunning easy going, comfy couple! beautiful. great work with prompts and all
You guys are amazing for posting these (for free!) As a beginner, these are so helpful!
I love your behind the scenes videos! I'm a super beginner photographer and I'm doing some unofficial engagement pics for some friends as practice and these are insanely helpful. Love your style!
LOVE IT! Great tips and so helpful to see in action examples :)
💕💕💕Thank you! These are amazing!
Love your videos!! So well done !
These are super helpful, thanks for sharing and please do more!!!!
Watching these have really helped me on how to explain and direct people during shoots
You are so good at posing people without it feeling posed. Every shot looks so natural and the couple seems so comfortable. Great work.
Thanks for this type of video!! 😊
Omg this is amazing!!!!!!!
Thank you for making these!!
I have been working on my posing and trying to come up with better ways to direct couples. Your videos have helped so much. I like how you get right to the point and just continue shooting. I also like that you show all ofyour shots throughout the video.
Love these !!!
Would love more directional posing session videos
this is fun to watch, superb work
I love the variety that you gave this couple! So many different scenes. I especially loved the shots by the window. The silhouetting is so stunning!
Okay edit cause I commented while still watching the video. Those bridge shots though!! I'd love to see how you edited the people in the background out cause wooooow.
Definitely would love to see more behind the scenes videos like this, especially for non-wedding sessions. I'm a portrait photographer, but I don't do weddings, so I love seeing sessions that are more casual (and still so beautiful!) like this one! :D
This is so helpful, thank you!
This is so great! Thank you!!
Girl, you are awesome! hahah :) I loved it!!
Oh my god this made me want to do a couple session lol they are so sweet and you were so good with directing but then also letting them doing their own thing and keeping the mood light and playful!
Your photography is Awesome! You seem to be having fun and that's why your clients just let loose to be themselves.
your editing is simply simple and beuaitful and most iimportantly consistant
SO GOOD!
You’re playing Derek Gust! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
So awesome! Love his stuff!
I’ve been wanting to get into photography for a few months now and I stumbled upon one of your videos and you give me such motivation and inspiration to shoot. Thank you so much and please continue the behind the scenes, it helps so much 🥰🥰🥰
That's so awesome! I definitely encourage people to follow their dreams and passions! I'm glad these videos have helped!
Thank you so much 🙏🏻 this is just making things so much Les stressful. God bless you
Thank you so much, this is so interesting! My partner and I are both really uncomfortable in front of a camera, but I know that with a photographer giving directions like you, it would work. I love the way you’re helping them!
This is so fluid and smooth!
Also when I saw the doggo I was thinking maybe shoot the dog through the couple and use the couple as blurry frame
Killer! Great job!
Love that you managed to photoshop the people from the bridge out of the photo! The shots turned out gorgeous!!
Thank you! I'm definitely not the best with photoshop so I'm glad it turned out well!
Love it thank you so much!
Inspiring. Don't ever stop.
Loving this 👌🏻
thank you!
lovely!
The D750 certainly has a great dynamic range!
You are so awesome!!!! I love your behind the scenes video!! It gives me so much comfort knowing how someone else talks to clients. You’re so cool & talented! This makes me want to capture an In home session & drink some coffee lol
My questions are though,
How do you decided on choosing an in home session? Do you ask for photos of their home first?
My fear is that there will not be enough natural light in an home.
Can’t wait to see more!
🖤🖤🖤
OMG I love your videos! Can you do an equipment video???
absolutely!! Thank you so much!
Woaaaah!
Very nice. I'm waiting for their own reality show!
PLEASE MAKE MORE BTS THEY ARE SOOO GOOD AND SUPER HELPFUL!!!!!
Really love your videos! If you ever do maternity photos, I’d love to see how you direct those shoots :)
what a trooper! 🙌🙌🙌
I know we all wish our husbands were more like him! Literally perfect! What settings did you use? I love these videos!!!
great work! i love your bts videos. maybe you can make a video about editing your pictures because your editing looks amazing!!
working on that hopefully this week!
Love this! Do you think you could start sharing your camera settings as well? :)
I relly love your video.
Awesome informative video! May I ask what AF settings you are using for this kind of couple shoots? (3D tracking maybe?) Thanks!
Still my favorite video from you guys haha.
Hey girl! Love your videos so much! I have a question! What shutter speed do you try to stay on when you're doing all your movement shots? Also with outdoor sessions, what do you usually leave your f stop on?
Their house has the perfect photo lighting 😩
it was gorgeous!
Do you use continuous focusing by back bottom?...thanks. Great videos.
Can you please share what settings you use for all that movement and how you get it to stay in focus?
Love your work and videos! I’d love to know if you’re using auto iso... you don’t seem to have to spend time changing settings even when going from backlit to shade, etc. Would love to know how you manage your settings so quickly.
Same! Good question.
Idk about her but I stay at 200 or 400 ISO for an entire shoot and only change shutter speed and f stop. Never auto ISO because it goes REALLY high
I love these videos! Can you share more on back button focusing and how often you adjust your settings when using it?
Thank you
I am constantly pushing that back button focus! It's just a habit to always keep pushing it. If there's a better way to constantly keep things in focus then I'm all ears!
@@CannonWeddings I actually never knew about it, until I heard you speak of it in another video. I'll definitely be working on using it.
I’m from the Indy area and one day when I get married, I’m definitely going to be contacting you!! Love your work!
YESS PLEASE!
Great! I love these BTS videos you make!:) Could you please also write/tell what settings you use and describe the lighting (source of light, direction, time of the day if natural light etc) ?? That would be very helpful!:)
when you have to do a make out session in front of a camera lol, such a beautiful couple. love the pictures
Love your videos! Wondering if you can do a maternity shoot or families?
That’s an awesome camera strap/ holster thing. Tell me more!!
Love this video! What harness are you using?
Your ideas are simple and stunning can I know what preset are you using for your Color grading
I just found your site today and I'm addicted to it. I have a question about your lighting on interiors.What do you use ?
I love your videos! they are so helpful, I would love it if you did an " Edit with me" :)
Stumbled upon your videos and I am obsessed!
Can I ask what presets you use?
I use my own presets!
when are you gonna do an editing tutorial? your such an awesome photographer
Ugh how do you get zero motion blur and everything perfectly focused?! Photographer GOALS haha love your videos!!
I definitely end up with plenty that are out of focus! I have my couples repeat certain prompts just in case I miss focus. I'm also trigger happy so I try to get as many shots as possible knowing that a lot of them will be out of focus
Would love to see an equipment video as well as what camera straps are you using?
Do you have any problems with the D810 missing focus? Mine seems to miss a lot. Loving these videos! New subscriber 😊
MAY I ASK WHAT SETTINGS YOU USED PLEASE ?
what time of da do you shoot this type? it's amazing
I'm watching all your videos it helps me a lot, so thanks. I suggest that every photo you show please indicate the settings coz` I'm a beginner so that we have idea. thanks.
Absolutely love your videos! But also, I'm loving the music you use - May you please share the songs used? :-)
Hi Becca, I've been watching your videos for couple of months now. Just wondering what size do you go for portrait and landcsape when editing? Thank you in advance.
How do you get focus when you're moving around so much and constantly clicking?
You are amazing! Any tips for a photographer just starting out?! You are goal status.
I have lots of beginner tips! Too many to put in the comments. I might make a video soon!
That would be amazing thank you! Your behind the scenes videos are SO GOOD
@@CannonWeddings
@@CannonWeddings I would love to see that! I shoot real estate, but People are so much more fun! would love some tips for it :)
Great directing! How many shots do you normally leave with before culling?
at an engagement session I probably take between 1000-1500 depending on how long the session was
I A M S O K I L I G ! !
Love this! How many hours is a shoot like this usually and would you mind saying how much you'd charge for something like this?
This session lasted almost 3 hours because of all the variety we did! It was probably about 2.5 hour shoot. We did a lot of walking, driving to locations, and changing clothes.
You're great! How long are your sessions?
