This is intended to hep those about to do their first wedding photography. While there is a lot more than 10 tips to keep in mind during your wedding, here are 10 pieces of advice that I’ve chosen to share after shooting my first wedding.
I also mentioned a podcast by Louis Torres, you can find it here:
and it’s called “Buy a Vertical Grip Now”
Here’s a link to the vertical grip I use:
And here’s a link for the R-Strap:
Good tips here.
gREAT TIPS .tKS !!
Hi there and thanks for the video… You also have to consider that some of us owns 2 cameras and having them with grips for 10 hours coverage it's not that easy buddy…. I worked with some wedding photographers and they are saying the same thing…… if you actually want to look more professional than uncle Bob or cousin Jane you have to show them you know what you are doing not by having tons of equipment….
Thanks from Russia
Careful on clicking to view pictures of wedding. ( Trojan Virus ) good thing my software caught it. This is an old vid he may have been hacked but I don't know…
Great to a see a bright young person showing us "oldies" some new tricks. Always willing to learn from anyone – regardless of age/experience. Thanks and good luck.
Thank you buddy this was amazing video thank you so much if you ever end up in Montreal Canada give me a shout
Great advice bro.
Thank you for the tips, this was exactly what I was looking for! An experience from someone who just did his first wedding job.
I'm about tho so my first wedding and I'm so nervous, I just want everything to be perfect, it's a special day and I don't want to let down the couple.
I saw your wedding pictures and they're amazing! I wouldn't tell it was your first time. Good job and keep going 🙂
Lucas-I have shot a couple of small indoor weddings, but tomorrow I am doing my first outdoor wedding beside the Ashley River. Loved your video and the wedding pictures from this particular wedding. Thank you for making this!
thanks 🙂 I have taken wedding photos at my cuz's weddings but i was a gusest, but I am the only photographer for my brothers wedding so its my first gig as for gear I just got a tri-pod
where did you get that camera sling? Were you paid, if so how much? What lenses did you use?
i have a gig this weekend thanks for the tips
thnks i'm about to do two weddings
Nice video. Thank you.
Thanks for the tips
Thanks for your Top Ten Tips!!
Thanks man, helped me pretty well 🙂
Like the 50mm f/1.8? There are plenty of decent, cheap lenses out there. Personally, APS-C cameras just don't cut it for me in terms of image quality. But everyone's different. Some people need the 8 fps burst or the focus tracking. I'm a bit more old-school.
Thanks so much for all of your fantastic tips! I shoot my first wedding in 2 days, and I will most certainly be taking your tips along with me!
I'm very nervous, but I guess everyone is their first time…right? lol
thank you for great tips))
eBay — 5D mark 1. Full frame and around £400. Better photos than a 7D or T2i.
thanks, really helpfull
Grips are made by cam model, you'll find grips that'll fit two of them, like close to each other in release, i would asume that Canon 5D mark II and mark III share the grip; but this is rather rare. FYI. Most probably by now you already know, but still 🙂
Great advice here and really well presented.
Great Vid – even better tips – I must have a look at your others now.. Thank you
Question for you or anyone else I am shooting a engagement session tomorrow and I was just wondering how many photos I should take and how many locations I should take the couple to as well
Good job man. Thanks for sharing your experience. Most photographers are snobs and think that "rookies" should not give advice, but I say more power to you bro. Keep up the great work 🙂
For a beginner like yourself, I would suggest a Nikon d3100 or 3200. They are very well priced, they are totally capable and have a very user friendly interface which includes an on board guide for novice photographers.
