    Here's why your wedding day videos stand out above the rest. There are tons of "behind the scenes" or "day in the life of a wedding photographer" "full wedding day", and those videos are like 15 minutes long. You're cutting out a TON of stuff that most of us are looking for.

It is very generous and kind of you to record this from start to finish for all to learn from. My favorite part of the video is you at 2:05:39 dancing and taking photos. That moment will be talked about later when everyone says, "The wedding was so fun, even the Photographer was dancing!" You are truly an amazing person and very talented. Thank you for a great video!

I do. have a question about lighting. Are you using off camera flash in some of the shots? I feel like I'm seeing the light go up a bit. You get your indoor shots nice and bright so was wondering if that was from the flash, from your wide apertures, post processing, or a combination.

    Bro, this is hands down one of the top wedding photography videos I've ever seen. As a photog (nowadays commercial but used to shoot weddings) this is by far one of the most informative, not some ego building video. Also you're great example that it's not about the gear but the way you use it - and you've done awesome shots with pretty mediocre gear which tells even more about your skill. Not to mention overall great exposure and skintones which as we know might be tricky for some. It's really should be played to everyone that moan about gear or else. Again - great job!

    Hi John! I really really appreciate your time and effort in creating these videos among the many great videos that help many photographers begin their wedding photography journey. I am starting mine this week, and given that I have experience in street photography and some portrait shoots, you've granted me so much valuable information that helps me be more confident and not be afraid to make and learn from mistakes. Thank you!

    I'm starting out as a new photographer hoping to get into wedding photography. I just sat and watched this whole video snd cried so many times. I felt like I was there at their wedding. It was beautiful ❤❤ and you might possibly be my favourite photographer on CZcams 😮😊

    I really enjoyed your video! It was really insightful seeing how another photographer captures a wedding day, down to different lenses and lighting choices than I would personally go with. It makes me think about how I can be more open to trying different shooting scenarios. Thanks so much for sharing!

    John, I subscribed to your channel over two years ago when you had a couple hundred, maybe just about a thousand subscribers. I enjoyed some of your early tutorials a lot.I took a two year plus break from photography to focus on other things, and this meant I didn't see much of your channel since then. I recently decided I wanted to get back into wedding photography seriously, so I searched up some wedding photography videos, and here I see that you're over 100k on CZcams! That's so amazing man. Well deserved. This video was great, and lines up perfectly with my experience at a few of the weddings I've shot. This was a great refresher for someone returning to the industry, or great for someone brand new to photography! Keep it up.

    Thanks for sharing your day with us! Big thanks also to the bride and groom and their families for allowing us to share in their special day. The first look between the bride and her father hit me in the feels. So sweet!

  • @rickbiessman6084
    @rickbiessman6084 Před rokem +1

    John, *thank you SO, SO MUCH* for this incredibly helpful documentary. I’m thinking about getting into wedding photography (have never shot professionally so far) and this is just an absolute goldmine. Other tutorials of yours are extremely good as well, but there is no replacement for seeing you in action. It really shows how your way of interacting with the bride, groom, family and friends is a huge part of your work. There’s a lot to take away from that as well. Again, thanks a million times! =)

    Our contracts ensure no other photographers will be present. Just another tip. The last thing I want when photographing a wedding is someone with a camera in the way or someone confusing who is the actual wedding photographer. Loved the flat lays! My favorite part is the ceremony 🥰

  • @micksylvain_photo

    Thanks so much for that video!! It is mega for a beginner! Been doing photography for the last 10years, mainly action sports and landscapes, but I'm finally moving to weddings and doing my first tomorrow as a main photographer. Kinda stressed out, but watching your full wedding gave me so much confidence! Thanks again and I really love your content, keep it coming! Cheers 🙂

    I don’t know how much time you spent on this but THANK YOU…and it was so worth it. Honestly, as much as I came here for you and your direction/expertise I just couldn’t get over how stunning that salmon suit color came out with your presets. It’s so appealing to me I had to go back and rewatch a few parts because I heard absolutely none of the directions you were giving and was laser focused on that color. 😆 Thank you again for your continued fantastic education and entertainment.

    I love the amount of thought, effort and information you put into this video. I literally sat and watched the whole video from beginning to end.
    I currently shoot real estate photography and have been approached several times to do weddings and have been hesitant to accept.
    Your video has given me SO much information and confidence to consider accepting the gig.
    We all have to start somewhere, right?

    Probably one the most valuable resources on the topic on the entire internet! No one knows the road like a traveler. You are well "traveled" and have been extraordinarily candid, open and informative with the sharing of this information! I am many, many weddings into my photography journey and still learned so much! I love your work as I am more of a documentary style shooter as well. May God bless you commensurate with what you poured out so willingly! We need more John Branches! Simply, THANK YOU! I am now a subscriber and follower...!
