How To Shoot A Wedding Film BY YOURSELF

26 25



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 🙂

    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.

    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.

  12. Sherian Queto says

    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.

    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?

    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!
