      I do portraits now and I can't tell you how many times I've gotten comfortable taking photos full open and when I have an opportunity to take pictures of a big group I don't stop down. this is optimal for those crispy shots.

      John, I've been shooting weddings for 6 years now, and during this time I've always tried to improve, always strived to get better. I've seen countless, countless videos talking about how to shoot weddings and how you need to do this and that, and NONE of them really taught me anything or provided some insight. All I've ever learned was the hard way, through experience and many many shoots. I was really interested in hearing out what you had to say when I saw your upload.
      My mind was BLOWN brother! You managed to touch on and explain how to avoid every hard lesson I had to learn all those years, and while I didn't learn anything new, I got confirmation that how I approach my weddings is the right way. You can't believe how much strength your videos give me to keep on going, keep preaching!!
      Thank you!!!

    Exposure triangle, understand your camera setting, shoot raw, backup of your gear, 1) communicate before wedding, meet couple and talk to know what they want 2) plan your timeline and photos (zooms, wide, closeup etc ) 3) list for family portrait (names, people combinations) 4) f stop down for group photos (f3.2) 5) use single point auto focus and move it around 6) pay attention to background, remove distractions eg: water bottles etc 7) be in control, decide by yourself dont take extra suggestions.

    I haven't done any weddings in YEARS, but enjoyed hearing your suggesting. One thing that I used to request of my couples is that they ask a family member to assist me; maybe even one from each side of the family (bride's & groom's). Their role was to round up all of the aunts, uncles, cousins, brothers, sisters, etc. and have them available for the family portraits. That family member would definitely know much better than I would, who was who, and could wrangle them for me according to the time schedule that I provided them, allowing me and my assistant to keep the photos moving as quickly as possible. It always worked like a charm.

    Some great tips! One huge one for us is making sure we visit the venues prior to the wedding, and if possible with the couple so you can talk things through there. The best plan is to attend the rehearsal if you can. This also means you can work out lighting, rain contingencies etc prior to the actual event.

You can take a couple of pictures in the location they wanted but if you have a better vision don't mind bossing them around just a little. I realised while editing the pictures just how big of a differense good light from the beginning really makes, it was so much faster in the editing process than with some other pictures!

    Great video. Some thoughts : 1) it took me nearly 10 years before I dared to do a wedding. I did amateur models and concerts before. 2) depth of field doesn't only depend on the f-number but also on the distance to the subject, the focal length etc. I'd say f 5.6 is the best on a 50 mm lens for outdoor group shots 3) if you choose manual for shutter speed, aperture, iso ... about 90% of your shots will be over/underexposed. there is nothing wrong in using Av or Tv and over/underexpose when needed

    Great video John. Only one thing though pertaining to continuous AF 100% of the time. As a wedding photographer who shoots Sony, I do shoot in continuous AF 90% or more of the time because the Sony bodies do have the face registration feature where you are able to register the face of the bride and the groom so the camera does place AF priority on them if they are in the frame. This is especially handy for any shots that are not stationary like ceremony entry & exit, couples walking from or away from the camera, you moving, first dances, and other fast moving reception and final exit shots.

    I agree with all your tips 100%. I have bumped into the divorced parents situations, and other people trying to control your work, etc. Also about knowing your equipment by heart because almost every single wedding they will be running late and everything happens on the fly.

A wedding is on another level thank you so much for the tips! Love your videos

    John, awesome job on the video. You nailed it. I started in 1981 with X-700 Minolta and switched to Canon (2-5DIIs and 1-5DIV). Love doing Weddings, besides other events, and preparing for them it's 50% of the photographer's homework. Yo want everything to go smooth and for the couple to trust you. If not, you'll see it on the photographs. Looking forward to other videos, experience-sharing, ideas and suggestions. Best!

      Out of all of the tips making your own timeline in my opinion makes the BIGGEST difference on a wedding day. It’s why I always do it and have been for about 3 years now.

    my first wedding shoot was back in 2007-2008, it's really important to know everything on the camera settings from exposure , to know how slow shutter speed one can use on a focal length. Jpg is ok, as long you can nail the exposure right, remember shooting raw means extra step in PP.

    Once again another great lesson , video and awesome teaching. So I currently have my Fuji X-T4 with 16-80mm and I just ordered a fuji 35mm 1.4, and I ordered a EF to FX fringer Pro 2 for my 50mm 1.8 and 10-18mm and 24mm and my 55-250mm, I did not want to loose all those lenses. KEH has been superhelpful and I used your 5% code, also got Honey book up and running and my website with square space. Used all the discount codes , thank you John for helping me set my business up In the right way.
