Which camera used for this vlog shoot?

I am an elopement photographer who stopped doing traditional weddings now but I actually loooved watching this video, so inspirational!

With regards no flash, I find it for example in a church, iso being so high, the noise is crazy on the pic, f2.8 doesnt always get the couple both in focus ans 1/30-1/125 gives blurry shots ...so i don't get It

I like the video but I’d love to see the results as you go with the video.

i shoot with those settings with no flash but my images have sooo much grain.

Thank you for making this video, I'm going through a rut right now. Compared to last year I was booked to the brim, this year it has been so slow. I appreciate the share and the word of encouragement.

2:47 was one of my favorite photos i saved on Pinterest during the last few weeks and now that i know it was you im subscribed! Very impressive work The colors and posing! That videographer did you absolute justice 💯. Thank you for sharing excellence🔥🔥🔥

Just wow!

You are amazing!!

Marissa, you are seriously funny... You should work to exploit that and you will have killer videos. Fix up your audio game, but ignore the haters. You have really good info, but you just need to package it better. It just a matter of practice. The secret to a great video is great audio. You definitely have the talent.

Anyone can charge anything they want wherever they are located. I really don't understand how photographers screw this up. This is why it's a stupid practice to base your rates on what others are charging in your area. One photographer may have a rich spouse and has no need to work at all and photography is just a hobby, they are going to price their work completely differently than the the photographer that is supporting a family of four. If your work is good enough and people can pay, they will. That's it. The only trick (and it's not a trick, it's actually called market research) is to determine what price the market will bare for the service offered. Then comparing that price against what is needed to survive and grow. If it doesn't line up, then you're either in the wrong market or the wrong service or both.

Good info... but I could use Dramamine

It was a fascinating presentation, especially at this point in life; thank you!

10K for a wedding photographer?? Jesus.

It’s videos like this that I wonder if they people making actually watch them. We cannot hear you!

Just some friendly tips: Use your photography skills and apply them to videomaking as well. The white balance is all over the place, and your lighting setup is also quite lacking. You can easily improve your production value with small adjustments, and it would make your video a lot more enjoyable to watch. I also think experimenting a bit with microphone distance/settings could easily be worth the time. What you are saying is valuable and makes sense, so keep up the good work!

This was amazing, thank you!

I wish I could do this as a job.

Hi, I have absolutely no clue why the youtube algorithm brought your content to me, but here I am 😅. These are real candid questions, from a French viewer. Is it common in the US for people to pay 10k$ for wedding pictures ? What does this price cover in terms of services, contract duration, etc ? In France, a wedding photographer usually get paid between 1000-2000 € to cover a wedding that is : bride prep, civil ceremony, religious ceremony if any, and then the banquet(so basically a single full day). Within that price range you get senior photographers, but you can easily find good photographers in the 500-900€ range. The price gap between the two countries seems ludicrous to me !

How do you keep your ISO so high and not have noise/grain?

I always reach a point in editing where I think I went too far.

I would highly recommend LR superkeys

Hi I love what you said true to life color which I timeless, I don't follow trends. I don't see the link to your preset pack?

Great video✨

Hi 👋

Love this!

I love this thank you for all the tips I enjoyed this video beautiful work ❤

Thank you so much for sharing! One of the best BTS! Beautiful couple and images indeed! Love your outfit choice - very professional and blinding in so well! Wouldn't you mind to tell us where your dress and shoes is from?

I really like Fujifilm cameras! You are amazing Marissa!

Wow! This is my favorite video! Amazing shots and inspiration!

Thank you. I have the GFX 100 I and I love the fact that you are sharing its capability to do Weddings and not feel like you need the GFX 100 II. Love it, "You GO GIRL"

Why not just use a strobe and get it 99 percent right in camera. Not a situation thats run and gun.

This was so interesting to watch, Marissa! Thanks for sharing!

I'm wondering if you could share some of your camera settings. Especially, the settings shooting in the darken room without the flash and also the flash settings. Thanks! It was very informational. I appreciate your sharing this BTS Wedding photography day.

How many hours of shooting? For this wedding?

How does one get into a profession like this Marissa? Beautiful location and photos!

Incredible video! What an experience this must have been for you.

Very helpful video! So well explained and simple

thank you, very inspiring!

that is definitely not a lens hood😅

The answers to a lot of your message is in Jesus as Lord.

How well does your camera find focus in the low light/dark situations?

Is there any reason you stick to 2.8? Looks like those are 1.4 lenses?

Lens hood ?? 😂😂 it’s called a flash diffuser
