- Do you want to learn how to use off camera flash for your wedding photography? In this video, I break it all down: the gear that I use, how I set it up, my exposure/flash power settings, and my thought process and approach. From there, I take you behind the scenes so you can see how I photograph an indoor wedding reception using the Fujifilm X-T3 and off camera flash from start to finish.

What else do you want to learn about flash??
Reggie...awesome work on this and your other videos. I was wondering about bracketing when you use flash because you mentioned bracketing in other videos. Do you bracket when using flash?
No I don’t bracket with flash. I do take test shots tho
@@Reggiebphoto --Thanks so much for your speedy reply and, more generally, your helpful videos and advice !
Focusing with the xt3 in low light. What are your settings? This is my single biggest challenge.
Af-s single point
Even two years later, watching this again is incredibly useful for someone who isn't doing this full-time.
So true.
Thanks!
John Branch sent me here and I am so grateful for all this information.
Nice welcome! Be sure to subscribe as I have more flash bts coming in the next months
Reggie, this is one of the best off-camera lighting & behind the scenes wedding photography tutorial I've ever seen. Your explanation of lighting setup, lenses used & camera settings is very helpful. Thank you & well done!
Thanks so much!
agree a 100%
Same HERE ❤ My V1 is arriving today. My first flash and this Saturday I will play photographer on a friends birthday party. So I am studying your flash vids right now. What a great starting point!! Now 3 days/nights of trial and error before the event 😱
John branch sent me. Exactly the video I needed. First weddin and reception coming in January and I’ve been binge watching lighting videos
the swag you tilting the flash feels like you are a veteran shooting with the gun you know for years... nice job!
Stan Ma haha thanks!
Reggie, you are a machine! I have experience with both wedding photography and off-camera flash for portraits and I was blown away at how easily you set up and adapt a fairly complex light setup in a situation as stressful and quickly evolving as a wedding!
Thanks. Just takes reps and practice
Wow, really you have mastered bouncing flashes, this is a real great master class
Thanks 🙏🏽
This is so helpful man, thank you for the work and effort to put this together.
You’re welcome! I’m glad it was helpful
Man, your detailed explanation behind everything in your work flow is super appreciated. Not a big fan of wedding photography in general but your work is great.
Thanks for the kind words. Yeah I agree on weddings not being for everyone, but what I do love is the skills are able to translate into many other genres. So hopefully you can take away certain techniques that apply to your photographer genre or interest
Very helpful video for using off camera flashes with the graphic representation!
glad it was helpful!
This is a perfect instructional video!!! Love it.
Thanks👍🏻🤜🏼
Excellent, excellent video. Loved the detail provided in how you work.
Awesome video. I dig that you get straight to the point with specifics and beautiful example shots without trying to be a zany, overproduced “personality” like a lot of other CZcamsrs. I’ll be subscribing and looking forward to future videos!
PS, the shot at 12:14 is one of the best wedding photos I’ve seen in a long, long time.
This was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jaymes Media thanks bro!
Thank you for sharing this, this kind of lighting style is as just what I was looking to learn.
The content you lay out here is very detailed. Priceless for everyone. I hope you keep doing what you do. Thank you so much
Brilliant! I’m going to have to watch this a few times to learn he points. Thank you Reggie!
Yes! I intended it to be fast paced but with the option to rewatch and pause and take notes :)
@@Reggiebphoto Thanks Reggie - I watched a few of your tutorials a number of times pausing and replaying! Thanks for sharing - I have learnt a fortune from you!
Thanks Charles! Be sure to check out other content on my IG and Patreon 🙌🏽
I would imagine these principles carry over to any indoor event photography. Thanks for your videos, and tutorials. Your willingness to hang out and give feedback in the FB group as well is greatly appreciated. Those of us new to FujiFilm or photography in general can certainly learn a lot from you and your style.
Really appreciate the feedback. Yes the principles should carry to any type of indoor events, any camera brand, or flash brand. Planning and approach are more useful than what specified gear you have :)
Yep, I was going to comment the same thing!
Just watching this now - amazing video Reggie. Really detailed walk through of your planning during the day and appreciate the effort to record it real time and then break it down with thorough explanation. Great images as well, of course. Fantastic. 👍🏻
Thanks!
This was great information and visual perspective on technique. Thank you!
Damn, you are so good at this, you just earned a subscriber.
Thank you :)
I second that. I just subscribed.
Thanks my friends
Great video and gave me lots of inspiration. Can I ask about the flash settings when you dragged the shutter. You had the camera set to 1/5th sec f/6.4 and ISO 160 but what is the zoom on the flash and the power/distance from the subject for this technique to work please?
Zoom all the way in. Power depends on the subject and exposure. Best to iterate
Thanks so much for taking the time to make these videos! There's just so much insight here. Thanks!
This has been a great video to help out in flash use. thank you!
This off-camera flash tutorial is so good that I keep on watching it. I have a question Reggie. Instead of the two Godox AD200, would the Godox V860ii have enough power? You're only using them as rim lighting so you don't really need that much power, right?
Yup that could work too
Thanks Reggie, another great video. Do you ever have any issues at venues with wedding planners or brides complaining about allllllll the flashing??
I’ve only had one complaint in 6 years. And it was a venue with a low ceiling and very cramped table layout. I ended up moving the flash to another location in order to accommodate the guest.
But other than that, I haven’t. The flash is pointed at the couple and it’s only in heavy use when everyone else is looking at the couple too.
Thanks, Reggie. So much helpful information here, especially the info about the placement and settings of the OCF. I'm sure I'll be watching this one a few more times in order to digest it all!
Glad you find it helpful!
wow, love the actual preparation shots before the wedding and the actual shooting of bride and groom. A true behind the scenes. Thanks Reggie
Terence Gibbons thanks Terence! Glad you found it interesting :)
Good and very useful video on flash photography and helpful.. For all this shots did you use face detection settings on your Fujifilm X_T3 camera, Images are detailed clear, focused and sharp.. If you get a chance please do video on Camera settings for the night photography for weddings, events etc..
I use af-s single point for speeches and cake cutting. For the dancing it was af-c single point. The face tracking is not fast enough for weddings from my experience
Nobody has made this video before! Nice job! I am a fellow Fuji Wedding shooter as well. Currently using two XT2's (same lenses). Is the auto focus a game changer with the XT3? I tend to use zone focus when shooting the formal introductions and open dance because the auto focus would drive me nuts! Cheers!
Nicholaus Mueller the autofocus is definitely better. But I think it still has a ways to go before it’s on Sony or dslr level
I just came across this video. Very insightful. Thank you for creating such an outstanding video.
Wow! This is so so helpful! Thank you!! Get right into the specifics! Love!
Great video Reggie. Is it possible using all V1's or are the AD200 a must have in your opinion?
Bradley Kayser it’s possible. But I like have the stronger flash so that I can keep the power lower. The lower power equals more shots in succession
Love your direction and explanation of how and why you have your settings to get the shot. Awesome!
Glad it was helpful!
This is a super helpful guide man. You went into so much detail and thoroughly explained everything. Thank you so much you are a fantastic photographer and teacher!
Thanks my friend! So far this video was my masterpiece
The camera straps you wearing is so cool. Can I have the name and link to purchase it? Thanks
Holdfast! amzn.to/2ZYgoEn
Wow awesome video. Been looking for a video just like this. Subscribed
Your work is beautiful! Thank you for the great tutorial. Best I’ve seen so far!
This is likely the most informative and helpful photography video I've ever seen, in terms of event lighting.
Hey, I can see all the work you put into this. This is so much info well prepared. Wow. Thank you very much.
Thanks for noticing! It did get the viral response I was hoping for but those who’ve seen it are getting a lot out of it
Thank you so much for this video. Literally amazing and exactly what I needed to watch right now!!!
Wow! This was absolutely amazing to watch. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Very very inspiring.
You’re welcome!
Thank you Reggie, great video, appreciate your technique. A little different than I've been using in terms of not trying to hide your flash units in the frame, and I really liked how you adapted and used that intentionally to create beautiful lighting effects, rather than obsessing over trying to hide them
Unlimited skill, exquisite craftsmanship, perfect composition, hard work, amazing results. Each picture captures the perfect moment
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing work Reggie! I'm blown away by the quality you produced and how strategic the flashes placement is. Good job, I've got a lot to learn from this video.
thank you! it was a lot of work and practice to get to this point, but hoping the info was helpful :)
Mr Ballasteros
I applied your lighting techniques on my first wedding Saturday and it was AWESOME! Thank you for all you contribute to the photography arena!!
Nice
I watched this video 6 months ago. And Without a doubt, the best video ever!!! I copied your set up. My pictures look amazing now. I use two Godox ad100pro and the Godox v1 as trigger and fill light. I pair it with my canon r5 and 28-70 f2. Yeah camera and lens are heavy but I don’t have to carry two bodies now. So it’s a win for me. Also I do use two cheap translucent umbrellas for the Godox ad100c helps soften the light and also better light spreading.
Wow. Thank you for this video. Been looking for a behind the scene video and this is the only one that shows everyhting you need to known for off cam lighting!!
Yes! I’ve noticed no one ever talks about it haha
Just watched the video. Thank you for sharing. It inspired me. So much to learn :)
Tons of thanks! Really helpful and mesmerising.
Thank you! An event photography video I've been looking for for years!
Haha! Yes, I noticed no one really had a video like this. It was daunting but I’m happy with this first iteration :)
Amazing video
Very well explained!
Thanks
Great video bro, honestly very informative!
Awesome video Reggie. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome!
You made it look so easy, I know how hard to think on your feet under pressure, and still able to deliver the amazing image. This is one of the most helpful behind the scene videos thank you so much.
thanks so much for the kind words!
Kudos to your friend Rick too for capturing the BTS. Very useful shots.
I’m glad it helped! He’s actually a great film maker but I made him use my equipment and told him to do auto, just for simplicities sake. I’m sure he and I will collaborate on better visuals as we continue this journey
@@Reggiebphoto looking forward to it.:)
This is super helpful for me as i just bought a godox v1 and ad200
Nice work! You have the lighting down to a science!
Very simple and informative. Thanks!
Thanks for this video ! This gives me confidence for my next wedding in March. You are truly a huge service to the community
Thanks brother. Appreciate you reviewing the draft video and providing me questions for the commentary framework

Amazing video Reggie! Extremely helpful... Cheers!
I’m glad!
A rookie watches this video and says "oh, yeah I can do this!" and thus a new wedding photographer is born:-) I really like your content. Found it looking for ways to shoot rings, etc using LED's (that video inspired me). But from inspiration to experience with light and what light does to photography is a huge leap.
Thanks 🙏🏽
Wow! Thank you so much. Such generous sharing of your knowledge and experience 🙏🏻 SO helpful. I'm feeing inspired to get out and try some portrait shots with flash, which I've never done before. Going to check out your other videos now. And subscribe 😃
