Ever wanted to know how I film a wedding? I am so HUGELY EXCITED to share this video with you and it has been so hard to keep this a secret! I had a behind-the-scenes filmed of a real wedding that I filmed! This video will show you:
🎥 The gear I use to film a wedding.
🚁 Gobs of drone flying action!
🤔 My thought process behind creative shots.
🙃 How I handle things when a wedding reception nearly ends in disaster!
📷 The exact lenses and camera settings I use in different situations.
I've been wanting to make this video for about a year and a half (ever since my first wedding filmmaker vlog!), so when my friend Noah told me he was getting married and asked me to film, I jumped at the chance to bring along my friend Paul Bailey and have him film a behind-the-scenes of Rachel and I as we filmed this wedding.
And just so we are clear, this is ONLY a behind the scenes of the wedding trailer, I have a much longer behind-the-scenes coming out soon, walking you through the ENTIRE wedding day from beginning to end. :)

Matt WhoisMatt Johnson do you have tips and tricks for shooting manual focus... cuz I use autofocus atm but it really sucks... most shots are not really in focus and sometimes auto of focus.
Matt WhoisMatt Johnson awesome Video Matt! Thanks for your Tipps & Tricks. Now i've got only one question left: how do you manage to get the sound from the speeches & all that other sound stuff? Internal Mic? Greetings from Germany!!
Thanks for all the content and the making of the full upcoming BTS! Thanks Matt!
Thanks Robert! Check out my audio gear video here: czcams.com/video/SSJKxcfFagE/video.html
Practice a ton on focusing, and punch in to double check your focus often! :)
Literally two weeks before my first wedding shoot. This video is an immense help. Thank you so much Matt. Keep on rollin with those vids.
Le Dinner Good luck! :)
Thanks so much! Hope you do well!
Good luck! Let us know how it goes!
Lucky You...! Today iv got a call to make a video in two days... THANKS MATT ! I will shit my pants for the first time. I'm such a noob! --_--"
Le Dinner im shooting my first wedding in 2 weeks also
I can't tell you how much of my heroes you guys are.
Matt. I've watched every single one of your videos several times. I appreciate how hard you worked to make this happen. I love how real you are.
Please keep making these we, the amateur contingent, desperately need real people doing this and showing us the reality and the flexibility of it all.
Thanks so much! :D
Filming my first wedding this Saturday - this was a huge help. I'm nervous but this helped loads! WE WANT MOOOORE!!!!
SAVAGE!!!! That was totally awesome to see you in action Matt and I'm looking forward to see more!
That last shot tho!!!!
By far the best BTS wedding film I've ever seen. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
Thanks so much Jenny!
I don't comment much on YouTub videos, but this one is worth it. Literally THE best BTS for wedding videos. Matt says it how it is - all the ups and downs - and doesn't seem to hide anything. The passion and love for making wedding videos really comes through!
I wanted to thank you for this! This is what I love: your humor, your attitude, and your willingness to help - thank you!!
YES YES YES!!!! Thanks man this was AWESOME!!! I've got a Wedding this month on the 13th!!! And I've got me and 2 shooters and this helped so much! And I would LOVE to see the full wedding man. If possible. I also love how your Behind the Scenes Guy who filmed also got your wife filming. My wife is still new to it and so is my second shooter and this will help them A LOT! Getting an understanding on how the Second shooter works is super helpful. When you get caught up with your weddings that would also be an awesome video on how a second shooter should film. Also I really appreciate your work man. Its inspiring and helps me shoot to be a better Wedding Cinematographer. MORE MORE MORE behind the scenes! And at some point when I get the Cash I WILL contact you for your Consulting. It would be awesome to get feed back on some things. Have some fun Editing!
Haha thank you so much! Glad you liked the video!
Nice! When life hands you lightning, make an awesome wedding exit!
Kyle Hunt I'm going to have to use that one lol!
Thank you Matt! This was absolutely BRILLIANT to watch! I can't wait for more content like this!
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos Matt, they're extremely helpful!
Subscribed. You are so you. And I love it. Thanks for sharing. And Rachel is awesomeness.
And I love you too!
The like-button has been liked, punched and squeezed to pieces.
Hahaha thanks Daniel!
every time, Matt! :D
This was amazing. Thanks so much for releasing this. The trailer was already one of the best things I've seen, but the explanation was fantastic! Can't wait for the whole thing.
Love this! Couldn't have been better timing, I'm shooting my first wedding Friday! I've been obsessed with your channel lately. Great content and you're really good at talking to the camera and making it entertaining and funny. Keep it up!
Hi again Matt, second set of questions: DSLR cameras are overlooked by the general public due to their small body size i.e. there is an ignorance that the traditional massive handheld camcorders (or broadcast cameras) will achieve that professional look. Obviously the camera sensor matters most. So did you get funny looks when you first started your business using your DSLR at weddings; do you still get funny looks now and; for anyone beginning in wedding cinematography, would you recommend always having a secondary camera man with a big camcorder just to stand there looking good (pretending to film) and thus make your business look more professional? Hope my questions makes sense. Thanks and many blessings, James.
+JamesKiberuLuttu hey James! I try to get to know every couple I'm filming. Because I do that and they've seen my previous work, they trust me. As long as I'm not showing up with an iPhone, they don't worry about what camera I'm shooting with lol.
That said, I've used bigger cameras at weddings and even with a bigger one you'll still get a drunk guest coming up asking you to take their picture hahaha. I let my work speak for itself and I don't stress about the camera size etc. I wouldn't worry about it if I was you.
Looooolz!!! Thanks Matt :-)
Awsome...
How did you get that wipe effect in between dancing shots ?
Is dat a transition?
Using prism??
Thanks! Yes, prism ;)
Would someone be able to educate me on prism? Is that a software or just a transition? Where can i get it? Such a cool transition effect!
Casey Numetko buy it on amazon and wave it front of the lens while filming.
It's SO HILARIOUS how Matt's voice goes from your nice simple easy going voice, to a massive road runner speed talker, hahah. Well done sir, you are cherished. Keep up the great work, always!
I've been a low-key fan since your Impact video days! Not a videographer, but I always nerd out about videography/cinematography things! Love stumbling upon your youtube channel!
A+++++ youtuber
Yeah, I'm so glad I found this channel, he's one of the only reviewers that actually uses their gear professionally.
Love These Videos. Keep them coming please! Have you heard of anyone else use the sony a6000 for weddings? It's an incredibly cheap camera for the quality. I'm finding it harder and harder for me to justify and upgrade to the a6300,a6500 or a7sii.
Adam Post I got a a7s, and I also considered those camera's.
a7s = shallow depth of field, low light
a6500 = autofocus, 4k, cheaper lenses, lighter
Good too know. a6500 in body stabilization and touch screen have me interested most. Seem more like luxuries that necessities though. I feel like the steady shot lenses on the a6000 do very well
Adam Post and A6500 has face recognition, so you can save the faces of the bride and groom so it will focus on their faces in auto focus mode and not other people who are just om the background
I'm rocking that feature on the a6000 too. Very nice especially for outdoor ceremonies. Before I realized the feature existed, too many times the autofocus would move off of the people and onto the background. One of the best features for sure.
The a6000 is an amazing camera, but the reason I didn't choose to use it was the lack of an audio jack. I got the a6300 instead mostly for that feature. If thats not important to you, I think you will love the a6000.
Matt, thank you so much for your film tutorial series! You have given me so many helpful tips, and most importantly, HUGE inspiration to strive to create beautiful memories for others! I hope to be able to produce incredibly breathtaking films like yours one day. Thanks again for sharing your amazing talent and sense of humor. I thoroughly enjoy it!
the lightening is absolutely brilliant. you got lucky, PaL. Nice work.
19:13 So unprofessional. Yet so necessary.
BOOTY BOOTY BOOTY

There is no doubt, considering all the chaos around you. U pulled it off. Thats what we have to deal with. I did a wedding where we had no power for the rest of the afternoon, thank God we had some really good lights and fully charged batteries.
God Bless you always!!
Yes! Been looking forward to a BTS video on your channel.
Thanks for sharing the BTS video of you working...really amazing stuff and lots of helpful tips!

That ending was sick Matt, wonderful BTS!! Beautiful....
+JN Creative Videos thank you!
Hardest job in the world. Great insight. People in broadcast look down on the "wedding guys" but I gotta say (having filmed and edited over 30 weddings) they are hard work and your results are better than most broadcast productions I edit! :) Well done!
Thanks bro! You are the greatest!!
Incredible Matt. Keep up the great work.
Your videos are incredible, I come here for some tips and feel truly inspired. I had goosebumps. Fantastic!
+Screen Fiends hahaha thank you!
