    Do you use group autofocus to take the couple

    So to sum up …. Look for shade – Shoot wide – wait for the sun to come down. (Y)

    Great tips and advice…can be a very intimidating situation, harsh light. Especially someone like me, who has ocd..

  6. Kirsten tv100 says

    Great advice. That onboard go pro footage with camera settings in shot is brilliant!!

  7. Steven Powell says

    nice one mate… what about the opposite when doing events, seminars etc in dark rooms or rooms with large windows creating dark then light spots etc

    4:05 Is it better to shoot in a lower angle? How to know what angle should I shoot while shooting?(Good video)

  11. gregory lee says

    do you find that shooting in open shade like you did that it leaves a green tint on the skin?

  12. Avery Cash says

    The groom looks balder in the direct sunlight as well lol.

    But customers want what they want!

  13. Mark Shirley says

    😎👌 Taylor

  14. kickapowwww says

    It's crazy that they groom and bride wanted to stand in the sun like that. You'd think they'd have a tent put up or something. Hope they all wore a strong lasting sunscreen lotion on their exposed skin.

  23. Tyler Hoskins says

    Hey Taylor do you use single point focus when photographing couples? If so who do you focus on? Or do you just use auto focus?

  24. Do you ever use focus peaking on the d850 when recording wedding video?

  25. ACID SNOW says

  31. Luke James says

    Could you show us how some of those ceremony photos turned out when theyre ready? Man it looked so glary and blindingly bright!

  32. Kathy Simindinger says

    Thank you for another great video. Could you have a video that discusses what you mean by “color palette” and how you are able to control that?

  33. Ricardo D. says

    One question: Do u pay the flights by your own to get to the location where you have to shoot if its far away?

  34. Dávid Bethlenfalvy says
