I started photography/videography 8ish years ago. I've recently started the journey of filming weddings. Did my first one a few weeks ago. I recently found your channel and have been binging all of your content. I love it! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Also your color grading is absolutely beautiful in all of your work
Find the conflict - Underrated and a little intimidating but worth the reward!
This information is GOLD. Thanks Jaired!
Great video! Just what I needed to hear as I work on a wedding edit that I am struggling with today!
Nothing beats the creativity of TEAM PHILIPPINES when it comes to Wedding Films.
Really good tips right here! Great video, you got a new sub!
Super appreciate the effort and the apparent passion you have for filmmaking. I think your lessons are not just for weddings but for storytelling itself. Thank you ❤️🙏
Thank you for all your videos. They are super helpful.
Great tips! Never considered having all the music in the same key. Also, "the conflict " is a gem of advice!
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Jaired, I was struggling with the edit because I am feeling burn out and this video helped me a lot after watching it. Keep up the good work bro.
Thank you very much
Very informative
Awesome!!! No one talks about music key cohesiveness!!
Thanks for the tip!!!
CONFLICT - yes - this is exactly what I talk about in a recently film i made too about how I storytell in wedding films
Ooooh yess, songs from the same key! Woww This could be a great subliminal hook! Second, letting moments breathe, I'm gonna be more intentional with this one! Thank you so much J :D
Amazing breakdown…analysing the true substance behind wedding filmmaking, proving your real love in what you do and sharing your insights and experience , you remind me of my mentor …thank you
Thank you so much! Means the world, seriously!
Thanks so much man! My wedding films wouldn't be as good as they are if I hadn't come across your channel a year ago. Truly Jaired, I appreciate all you do. Thank you.
Dude I love hearing that! So glad you are crushing it!
This was helpful.
Loved 99% of this video; I even shared it with the videographer on my team. I'm Team Gimbal though, hehe. Adds to the cinematic feel I wanna provide for my couples. I'll throw in some handheld here and there (for the same reasons you mentioned) but I love a good stable tilt and pan all day over wobbly footage. Great video, J!
I've never understood why we need stick with particular setups. You should meet with the couple beforehand & figure out the tone, then go with which equipment works best, Their story is first and foremost the thing that'll drive your video. Makes it more than just a clean cinematic product with some emotion thrown in. IMO, your boxing yourself in as a creative if you're too attached to gimbals/handheld/etc.
Thanx find your insights to wedding photography so helpful

Just found your channel - superb, subbed and liked…
Thank you.
Good info thank you.
Glad you dig it! :)
i am starting learning wedding filmaking.. your channlle helps me lot .. tysm from india.. not good english .. but i translate .. really nice video
I'm seconding another comment would love to see your process on filming handheld weddings
I’d love it if you could make a video about your handheld skills. How can I develop mine at different points in the day?
Great topic! I’ll definitely consider that one. Maybe this month! 🙏🏻
Yes! That’d be awesome! Would love to see your process/method for that.
Finding the best music for my videos is one the most difficult thing to do sometimes il have an idea of what im looking for but finding it is very difficult.
Thanks for your video. I struggle with time. Most couples have so much going on and are overwhelmed that the time that we have for cinematic shots get put aside since they are stressed and in a hurry. How can i make the couple understand that this is a big highlight of their video.?
I do appreciate these ideas that you put forward on your blogs. I admire the mention of God, the Almighty. Subbed.
1. Stop opening with drone shots.
2. Stop using acoustic guitar music.
3. Stop shooting things that the photographer can document (dress, shoes, rings).
4. You don't need the altar kiss as much as you think you do.
You are 100% correct
@@jeffreylawrence6928 would’ve settled for 90% correct, but I’ll take the 💯 👌🏽
@@rickyhurtado 100% all the way!
Bonus tip, If the songs aren't in the same Key, and one of the songs is instrumental, you can pitch it up or down to match the key, if one song is it E Major and another is in D Major, you can move the D Major up 2 semi tones, if one is in a Minor key, you can just google what's the relative major key
Adding some music theory into the mix, I dig it!!
@@WaywardNorth hell yes!
I was editing a wedding film and they weren’t in the same key but I wanted to use those 2 songs, pitched the piano instrumental song up 3 semi tones and it sounds absoloutely amazing
Do you ever survey the couple as to what style or elements they would like to see in the finished wedding video(s)?
Of course, I phrase it more along the lines of, “what are you most excited about for your wedding day?” And then dive deeper in the final call with them. For style, this all depends on their wedding day and interactions throughout. If there wasn’t a ton of emotion because the bride and groom aren’t very emotional then the style may be a bit more upbeat. And the same goes for if they are more vulnerable and emotion driven, I’ll cater the films style to that. Generally I’m letting their personality and day experience guide the direction for the edit.
Best the most important question: where'd you get that dope hat?!
Haha I think it’s from Brixton!
I like the idea of conflict, but I think I would rather tell a story of conflict more in composition than in reflecting a couples actual real life conflict
Love that! And that’s what’s so awesome about this industry is the diverse nature of what others find inspiring and how they want to tell stories! ✌️
what do you "space" out the audio portions with?
how do you match sony and lumix colors?
May I ask if you always used Handheld on every wedding that u shoot?
Yeah pretty much I’ve switched into hand-held for 95% of the wedding day
Audio Decompression: I'ver had to slow down the Speed Dialogue to 93% before to make it not sound rushed, but any more than that It doesn't sound natural.
99% videographers do the same fairytale for all clients, a set of clichés.
