Thanks for the tips! I'm aiming to take my Photography further and all i need is self-confidence because i always put myself down and think i'm not "good enough" etc. But these tips are great & helpful! Thanks :)
Thankyou both for taking the time to share your top tips, I like to meet up with the bride & groom and just go through a number of images see what they are drawn to and tick of what the like, so it give me an idea what they are looking for.
It isn't what lens to have... it's what lenses to use... and how can you use two lenses, for example? Well, USE TWO cameras, each one with a different lens mounted. Something else, go to the sites where you'll be shooting so you can spot pitfalls beforehand, and not waste time when you should be shooting... by scouting the sites (church/wedding ceremony site and reception) this will enable you to be prepared... You won't be caught by surprise if there are mirrors or low ceilings or too many visually obstructive obstacles.
When you send proofs to your clients, is it before or after you've already edited them? If before you edit, how do the client envision the photo will look like post-edit? Meaning, if the edit is supposed to be warm and contrast but the original is neutral. I'm an intermediate photographer and going to be doing my first wedding in September.
Really great content guys, thank you! One thing I'd say is please maybe try to not speak over one another, as it just sounded like you guys were both trying to get a word in, and it comes across like you don't kind of value each other's input, and are just thinking about what to say next!
Jessica Kobeissi Jessica, hey! If weddings are 80% business/hustlin' & 20% actually shooting, then how would you divide that % regarding fashion photography? Is fashion also sooo much about business, self promotion & hustlin' with clients instead of just working & being creative?!..
This really doesn’t have anything to do with the topic on the video, but does anybody ever notice she always seems to have her phone in her hand? I guess I just find it odd.
it depends on your style but the 50mm 1.8 is a good overall budget lens and can be used for both wide shots and close ups. i myself feel its too wide for me to go with less than 50mm but then others prefer 35mm or even wider angles. If you like shooting wildlife or whatever takes distance your best guess is to get a 55-250mm f4-5.6, not the best on low light but its decently sharp for its price and what it has to offer. also you can consider the 18-135mm useful for pretty much everything
Kuan Gerry seeing as theres only 52 weeks in a year, 30 weddings is a lot. Especially since there’s preparation, theres engagement sessions, theres hours on end of editing. 30 is PLENTY

These were great tips! I feel like these aren't only for weddings and it helps with other fields of photography as well so that's even better.
Do you recommend an off-camera flash?
what is the best lens to use during the ceremony. I have a Canon rebel t5i, but I don't want to keep changing lenses and possibly missing moments
24-105mm
70-200 f/2.8
Bobbi Dickerson get another camera, you will need it

I first like your videos and than watch them

i was just wondering what lenses to get as a beginner?? you probably get this question sooo much sorry... teh
I'm not a professional, but I can say by my own experience that a 50mm is great. Is so versatile, you should definitely get one!
kiki smith 50mm 1.8. and 35mm 1.8... pushing some budget i would save for the 18-35 1.8 sigma
kiki smith get the 24mm f2.8 pancake lens if you're a canon shooter. Great budget lens! Better than the 50 f1.8 in my opinion. Sharper and wider
