I love photographing weddings! They are a lot of fun and there are always a lot of great images created during the day. In this video I go over a number of questions from a Cazillion and go over my methods, tips and techniques for shooting weddings.

Hi Kenny your question on how many images you give to a bride and groom my personal number is 350- 450 and if you're shooting with a second shooter 850. Good luck.
Nice video Sir. To the point. Thank you.
When I was using film, I'd have a hard time shooting more than 100 images. And of those, I wouldn't deliver anywhere near that.
Hi Greg, Really helpful video. I have been asked to shoot a friends wedding. I have sony a7ii and sony a6000 with the following AF lens 50mm 1.8 28mm f2 an d the kit lens 16×50 3.5-5.6 also I have 2 manual focus lens 50mm 1.7 and 135mm 3.5 What lens would you suggest I use the most?
You're amazing thank you! Appreciate this a lot
Hi I am a 17 year old photographer. Am I too young to do wedding photography? I know my camera inside out and have a very creative way of thinking. I have been referred to being one of the best photographers in my town. Should I give it a go or wait a few years?
Thank you, I think some of us are in the same situation. Lower budget wedding but needs photos done by someone that has at least a passing interest in photography. I have only shot landscapes and travel photos (amateur), but this information is great. I don't intend to shoot weddings, so these videos are great as a guiding hand.
Sound, timeless advice.
What mode should I shoot on? Would Manual take too long to adjust settings ?
what editing software do you use? denolispolite@gmail.com
Got my first one on Jan 6th 2018 (winter, ugh). Small wedding and they only want me for 3 hours. I have decent equipment, Canon Mark D III and 1.4, 85mm and might rent another lens. Speedlight, rogue flash bender and only have one off camera flash set up. I've had a few portrait couples sessions and they were ok and the couples loved them (it was really cheap). Still very nervous however. I have to get some good shots.

Hi, i know this is out of topic but how can we adjust our settings for makeup flashbacks..?Im a beginner. As a photographer, what can we do about it?
Great advice, you seem like a solid guy, all the best
Can I shoot a small wedding with Nikon 17-55mm f2.8, Nikon 85mm 1.8g and a Nikon 40mm f2.8 with a Nikon d3200. I also have the interfit S1 monolight flash.

I'm shooting my first wedding in 17 days. The bride is wearing a strapless dress of course . My question is how can I shoot her to decrease the size of her breast's? I'm serious! She's very self conscious about them. I want her to look beautiful and not upset. Hope you might have an answer!!!! HELP
I should have prepared better… my divorce cost me a fortune.
Thanks for answering the questions 😊 I appreciate your information 😊 very helpful!
this video is Great! Thanks for posting
Your work is so beautiful.
Thanks for that informative video, I found it very helpful, cheers!
Hi !! what do you mean when you say a list of shots the bride wants ? like style or people ?
Yeah, my first wedding photography starts in about 3 hours or so… 😀 😀 😀 Thankfully it's a smaller wedding. Not my kind of thing though, cuz I usually shoot cars and car events 😀
i am being asked to be a 2nd shooter for a renowned wedding photographer and initially i am to be paid £150-£200 per day/shoot, the pro charges a min of £5k per job, is this a reasonable amount for me to be paid ?
Very interesting video and I would have liked to explore your website further but your capture verification defeated me. Ah well.
I'm going to be assisting a wedding photographer for 2 weddings this spring, I so exited because I am 14 and I can't believe that I actually got a gig!
great content Thank you!
Great, helpful information. Everyone keeps saying "you must use a full frame for weddings". Your thoughts on this?
