How To Shoot A Wedding Film BY YOURSELF
THE BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO WEDDING FILMMAKING:
Hey thanks for watching everybody! I hope these tips will help you create some awesome solo-shooter, single-camera wedding films. Everything on this channel has been done with a single camera with no second shooter, so I know the extra planning and effort that it takes. Get out there, keep learning, keep growing, and keep creating!
Let me know what videos you’d like to see in the future, and send me links to your wedding films! I’d love to see what you are all doing out there 🙂

Great tips!
I just leave my like, bro! tkss
Extremely good tips! 👌🏾👌🏾
Great information.
Thanks for this
THANK YOU
This wont end well. I do stuff as more of a hobby rn than in any professional capacity and my friend doesnt want to pay ppl so shes asked me to do both the videography and photography by myself with no extra hands bc she doesnt know anyone else who knows how to use anything more fancy than a phone cam. For free. She wants the whole ceremony and shiz on video. And lots of pics. And she expects it to have the same quality if she hired ppl. On top of tht its already expected that im put in charge of everything to do with decorations, flowers, table layout at reception, ect. Also for free.
You can now do it with phones and tablets
This are very useful tips man thank you
very nice tips. thanks 😊👍
Nice video keep up the good work. As a photographer/ videographer I would never ever give raw photo or video to a client. People will post the raw photos or video and they will always say who captured it if asked may be very bad for your professional brand.
This is one of the most practical and honest video i've seen. I'm a single shooter too and I know exactly what he is talking about. Great stuff. Keep it up. Experience first; gear will come as you grow.
man great video .. u channel should have more views and subs.. nice tips, nice work
Thanks so much for the video. I’ve got a very last minute wedding that’s my first EVER and this has helped calm the nerves somewhat! Thanks!
Very very very informative, I just subscribed
I feel you man, Im in the same boat week in week out!
Great stuff. Thanks!
Extremely informative! I really love this video thank you so much!
Hey i really need your help. do i need to provide the full video coverage of the wedding and the reception like a 1 hour video? Or just the highlights of the event like the final edit 5 or 7 min video?
You got my subscribe, because you are awesome.
Hey Jordan thanks a lot, I really appreciate you for making this video! I am shooting my first wedding this September and am trying to get mentially prepared. I thought about renting an extra camera but it really isn't in my budget. So I am glad that it is possible to shoot solo!!! I'm more excited than nervous now and can't wait to try out your techniques. Thanks again man!
Thanks Jordan. Looking forward to watching your other vids. By the look of the thumbnails you've come along way! Great job.
Awesome video im in a predicament but this was so helpful I liked and subscribed Thank You! <3
Thank you for this. I want to be able to shoot stuff by myself.
Awesome advice Jordan, hope to put it to use this weekend when I'll be filming my first wedding! Look forward to seeing more content from you, keep it up!
Just got my first ceremony weeding to next month. I charged just 250 for 5 minutes video (bride asked for a very simple video). do you think I charged to little? cheers
