Wedding Photography: Behind the Scenes (Whitby Castle)

Everything you need to know about being a professional wedding photographer on a wedding day
I go over the gear I bring, how to pose, the timeline, and you will get some creative wedding photo ideas along the way!
When watching this video, you will learn how I handle stressful situations on a wedding day like a strict-tight timeline, crazy weather, using off-camera flash, and how to communicate and work well with vendors I have never met before.

Great video, I'm photographing my first weeding this June. Thank you for the behind the scene visual.

[@MirandaSuess]

Glad it was helpful! Where is it at!? So exciting;)

[@waynosfotos]

I see you are just starting on TH-cam,
I have been doing this for 4 years.
Best to open with some of your best photos rolled through at the begining, then announce i am going to show you how i got these photos in this video. Then explain the conditions and jump in.
Here to learn more about weddings as i want toget into this. Cheers

[@MirandaSuess]

thank you for the tips Waynos! Best of luck with all your endeavors and I hope you enjoyed and learned something as I worked bts

[@LunaBellaPhotos]

Doing my 1st wedding soon and this was super helpful 👍🏼

[@MirandaSuess]

yay! good luck :)

[@ronlemelinphotography]

great video

[@carlosazevedo7748]

How many flashes during speeches? Also what do you do if the ceiling is low?

[@MirandaSuess]

I like one flash directed at the couple using a #maggrid and #magsphere @magnetmod and another flash with the same combo directed at the speaker - both lights at 45 degree angles. IF low ceilings, that doesn't have to change either :) keep the lights up high and angled down to avoid intense shadows

[@miguelangel857]

Hi!!!!
What ISO do you use in minute 8:46?

[@MirandaSuess]

so sorry for the late reply! found the photo and the camera settings were ISO 800 shutter 1/200 and f/4

[@alexandernordic8551]

The editing is so weird

[@MirandaSuess]

what do you mean? The photo edits?

[@alexandernordic8551]

@@MirandaSuess seems like you are raising your shadows so much

[@MirandaSuess]

It's my style :) My clients and I like it. I also like to dehaze to give more of a soft film effect with grain. It's okay if you think it's weird - My style isn't meant for everyone. HOpe you find other parts of this video useful for your wedding day as a photographer!

[@alexandernordic8551]

@@MirandaSuess Yes I do, thank you :)

[@bvill6749]

It’s true we all have our own styles, which is why we have our portfolios and websites, for clients to see how their wedding edits will look like for the most part. We all have different tastes therefore photographers with diff styles
