This was one of the best videos I have ever seen on RUclips. I'm a dog trainer and learning photography but I was actually entirely entertained the whole time. You have a gift for this
I do studio photography where I can control all of my light; I've been hired for a wedding, this video was extremely helpful. I feel like I can do this now, and will be better prepared, Thanks a ton!!
Yet another fantastic video Taylor ! There is ton of info here that is already making me feel much better about of camera flash. There are a few items that I can't wait to try at my next wedding. I agree completely with the Godox flashes/transmitters, they simply work great.
Lool It’s not awkward to weave through a Nigerian wedding, we love photography and we love it even more when the modifiers are in our faces 😁 because we believe the pictures will be even more beautiful
Taylor, thank you for posting these videos. The quality of your images are superb and your simple instruction and explanations of what you're doing in each shot is so useful and vaulable. Awesome
Okay, you are a total pro. I can tell because you make it look so easy, and you work with a minimal amount of gear. Oh, and your photos are just excellent. Thanks for this refreshing tutorial. You prove that fanciness of gear and method is often just fluff. One more thing, your presentation/personality makes your invaluable information also really a blast to watch! Thanks!
I always use indoor off camera flash like this on the bride hair and makeup session we use to shoot around here before the wedding itself. Gives really great results
"usually the hair and makeup person have them look at the good light" w00t 👀? I haven't been on a lot of weddings but it sounds very next level if you have the hair and makeup person coaching you into fabulous light! I guess it makes your job a little bit easier. Anyhow. Great video as usual with actual helpful tips. (I only shot for hobby but your advice seems legit)
Superb video, thank you! A lot of thinking on your feet. I guess starting out its good to have a handful of ideas that you know works and don't try and be too ambitious - I like how you use only 1 or 2 lights but get great results with a natural look to them 😉 👍
Loving this video. I really appreciate the images edited in, I know how much work that is to edit. I did an outdoor wedding with no flash, but my next one is indoor and I need a flash. Looking for V1 reviews and I found this. Got the flash, the trigger, and the gel/snoot kit in my cart. Can't wait to practice. Thank you!
Thanks again for all your helpful info in your videos. I have 2 questions in regards to flash. The first is when you are shooting your flash (both on and off camera) do you modify the zoom at all or do you just leave it. And if you do leave it, are you setting it wide, middle or zoomed? Second question is ... If you were buying the GoDox V1 with transmitter, would you be buying the XPro transmitter or the X2T? Saw that you can manipulate your off camera flash with the X2T, can you do the same with the XPro. Ill never be shooting with more than 2 flashes probably ever. Thanks again for your help and its amazing that you actually reply to some of these comments. If you ever have a shoot in or around Halifax NS id totally be down to be a free second or third or forth camera!
Possibly a dumb question but I have rewatched portions of this to better understand and still don't. What is the purpose of your pocket wizard? It's not mentioned when talking about your equipment in the beginning, but it's used mid video. Help? Sorry! And thanks in advance!! Happy shooting everyone!
Before I watch... I picked up a Godox V1 on Wednesday and used it the same night at an event (on TTL because I do be scared tho 😂) entire venue was painted black besides one white wall with black cursive words on it. It worked so well!
Always learning and taking notes from your work flow and photography skills. I Noticed that around the 1400.. time frame you held the front function button and changed to 24-26. Do you mind sharing what this was for.? You went from outdoor to indoors when you made the change.
I shot one wedding as a second shooter and I brought too much gear. I was sooo sore the next day. 2 camera bodies, 2 flashes, 3 lenses (Nikon 24-70, 14-24 and 70-200). I also brought a small soft box and light stand for off camera flash.
Remember your feet are your best tool. Ditch the 3 telephotos, bring a 70-200, then got 1 other prime, eg, 35mm. If you need wider, go wider with 24mm. you are not there to take WIDE panoramic, or group photos. The main phot can do the super wides anyway. Unless he said he wanted you to focus on specifically wides or something. Never bother with soft boxes, there is just no need. Use ISO and off camera flash as you need, as long as faces are in focus, a bit ISO makes no difference to the wedding couple that see the people in the photos. Just my 2 cents worth.
I love your videos. It would be nice to get some more insight as to where the flash was placed. It was clear in some locations, but not so much in others.
I think this is the best example video for any want to be wedding photographer. You are. A product photographer. Rings, shoes, tables, cards, You are. A portrait photographer. Self explanatory cause you’re dealing with people. You are. A street photographer. Cause you need to include all the background as a backdrop in the back of your head. And where to place people.This works and not this. You are. A Nature photographer. Or maybe even wildlife. Lots of pictures outside the venue. And you’ve got to think about the compositions and lighting. So all in all. You do every genre of photography. In a few hours of work. Big thanks for sharing. 👍🏻
If you want to get creative in daylight it's important, but at a regular wedding day I'm always fine. I usually have to be at like 1/100th of a second or so to minimize light flicker anyways
Thank you so much Taylor. For me this was incredibly insightful and has given me the knowledge / confidence to improve what I deliver to my customers. Best wishes. PS; May you continue to have the greatest of Pizza dreams.
I have 2V ones and I have a problem with the recycle time. I see that you do too because on your outdoor shoot your flash was flashing every fourth or fifth time
So very helpful. Doing my first real paying wedding tomorrow. Church is dark, low ceiling. Reception venue is barn- type, wood everywhere and no white walls. Dim lighting. Fingers crossed.
I’m going to try the bounce-only approach for OCF for my next wedding. I’ve only done one (last weekend in Paris), and made the mistake of lugging modifiers, half of which I didn’t use because of the time and hassle to set it up without an assistant.
That's sad how they put you in a completely different room to eat...at my wedding and all weddings in my country the musicians and photographers have their table in the same room, albeit at the entrance of the venue but still, just a table away from the other guests, and they get the same food as we do. Great and helpful video, thank you so much!
Great video ! Thank you for taking the time to make your videos. I'm shooting a wedding scheduled for noon outside. I'm concerned about black eye syndrome if it is a sunny day. I'm thinking large reflectors for fill and an OCF with a large umbrella. Thoughts? Thanks, Patrick Lynch
I am beginner in photography. I bought a used Sony A7s2. New 24-70 2.8 lens. How much power flash would be enough to shoot outdoors? I would be doing street photography and portraits. I would want to take this flash with me easily and during travelling. Should I go for on camera flash or off camera flash This would be 1st flash that I would buy. What are your suggestions for flash? Also suggest soft box and tripod (either camera or flash would be tripod as I can hold only 1 thing) for travelling.
So very informative! Thank you. I do wonder how you get an empty reception hall to shoot, where i live, the guests are typically in the halls by the time the bridal party arrives there.
Great video and you really put yourself under the pump to make this one! And that takes a lot of courage........ A huge amount of good information on how to shoot a wedding under challenging circumstances. I was amazed at how much could be achieved with just basic bounce flash and trigger! Subscribed....
what a great video! answered a ton of questions i had! Came to watch for a few minutes, ended up watching all the way through 😂 The room with the view got me! lol
Thank you Taylor for putting this together. I enjoyed it. Im thinking of upgrading and leveling up my lighting technique. You explained everything so nicely.
Hi, great video, very inspiring. QI have a quick question. What was the gadget you wrapped around your off-flash on a stand. If it was the transmitter, then what was attached to the camera 📷? 😊 Thanks.
Awesome Video, I enjoyed it along with your commentary. You're an Awesome Skilled, Talented Pro that knows light, your Gear, and the talent, skills to use at it maximum potential. Thank You for sharing your amazing work.
1 minute in to the video and already I can tell that this is gonna be different from what we do here in Sweden. I have never heard of anyone using a flash during the actual ceremony. We often tend to marry at a church so any type of extra lights are frowned upon. This creates all kinds of problems of course since its daylight mixed with LED's and old incandescent bulbs...yeah...it's nightmare!
Great video some great tips in there I’ve not shot a wedding in years and I’ve got a friends sisters wedding coming up which is a good low stress shoot as they wasn’t going to bother having a photographer do that takes the pressure off me and I can just experiment with the gear and a lot of trial and error see what works and what doesn’t one thing that did prick my ears up was the location where was all wood and no good for bouncing the flash makes me feel like just putting a small softbox on there will resolve that issue without being too intrusive!!
Hi, Taylor. Thanks for the great video. Qq, can the GODOX X2T-C TTL or the GODOX X2T- work with EOS R6? I see that you are using an EOS R which I guess it's fully compatible with all Canon mirrorless, is that correct? Thanks
Hi, thank you for your videos. Now I own 2 godox tt865 but I have to recharge many batteries for one wedding. I wouild like to know how long your godox flashs lasts. I wil buy V1 and ad200 pro. Thank you for your future feedback. have a nice day. Greetings from italy.
Thanks for a great tutorial. Do you have to have a dedicated trigger? Is it possible to use on camera light as a commander of the of camera lights? I'm new to this and trying to figure out what I need to buy. Is the trigger built into some on camera flashes, or is it recommended to get a trigger, with the option to use the on camera flash, off of the camera?
Great great video, LOVE It! Looks like you are on D850. Does this mean you choosed not to use Z6II anymore after trying for a time, at least for weddings? Maybe due to AF not so easy tonuse or reliable?
There is so much info packed into this video it’s ridiculous!! Your ability to think on the go and change it up, left right and centre is also ridiculous. You know your craft so so well, you’re faster than a machine. Great to watch, now I’m gonna watch it again!! Thank you!!
I recently started using a Canon R5, along with a Flashpoint XPLOR 400 Pro & R2 Pro MarkII. . I've updated ALL the firmware in every device in the chain, but for some reason I still keep getting misfires every 2nd or 4th shot (or not flash at all). . I've also scanned for the best frequencies on the trigger, switched to also using the "ID", use Mechanical Shutter (below the Sync Speed), and I stick to "One Shot" Focus mode & single point focus. . Once I turn the audible beep on, for the XPLOR 400, I can hear the trigger and light communicating but no flash (full battery). Any suggestions?🤔
My one advice to newer photographers is that if you go off camera understand the equipment inside and out, it can be damn hard to work out in the moment why your broadcast unit isn't speaking to your flash. It's complicated stuff and best to learn it inside and out.
My inbuilt Nikon Flash doesn’t work and won’t sync even when it flashes so i am not sure if using a external flash will work or not. Do you think external flash will work regardless of inbuilt flash working or not ! Please help i am planning to get flash. Thank You !
I bought Nikon sb700 before knowing about godox v1. Then I tried getting a godox x2t to control my sb700 flash in off camera, but unfortunately it doesn't work. Is that the reason why u use pocket wizard to control off camera flash? Can it be control by godox x2t instead for Nikon flash?
I have it in my contracts that I must eat with everyone else. I did a wedding and they put me in a room with a cold ‘sandwich’ and ziplock chips. I got home and change my contract
In this video you mentioned that you can set the x2 to have different groups so that if they are at the table you can use group A and if they are on the dance floor you can use group b. How do you set that up? I have 2 lights and I set one to group A and one to group B but they both go off at the same time. Also, in your weddings you are using the Pro as apposed to the X2. Is there a huge difference?
One thing to note about Godox and the way they function with Nikon at least: If you use the Godox XPro trigger branded for Nikon on a Nikon, you'll get a warmer color tone than there actually is. If you use the Sony or Canon branded trigger, or stack your Nikon trigger onto a "dumb" trigger, the colors will be accurate. You lose your TTL, and need to shoot manual. Something to be aware of that will effect your post processing.

This is literally the best wedding flash video on RUclips.
Happy you find it helpful!
This was one of the best videos I have ever seen on RUclips. I'm a dog trainer and learning photography but I was actually entirely entertained the whole time. You have a gift for this
Thanks for watching! Happy it could help!
Can we just appreciate the v1 though? I've replaced all of my old canon strobes and I went 3 weddings before having to charge them. 😮
I forgot it needed to be charged😣
The composition of the balcony shots were crisp
Thank you. It was a cold evening
I do studio photography where I can control all of my light; I've been hired for a wedding, this video was extremely helpful. I feel like I can do this now, and will be better prepared, Thanks a ton!!

Bro, the table for 1 had dying 😂. “This is the table where the help eats.” Great stuff Taylor, keep it up 👍🏽
Just what the doctor ordered for me. Great video and extremely informative. Thanks for posting.

Looking at BTS from shoot - I am glad I am not the only that has not removed the QC sticker LOL. Great information.
I wish they’d make them bigger and harder to remove
I always use indoor off camera flash like this on the bride hair and makeup session we use to shoot around here before the wedding itself. Gives really great results
such a great video. I watched the full video without even knowing an hour passed. so informational. Great teacher
I don't even do weddings anymore but I learn something every time I watch your videos lol
Love how simple you make everything!
The 2049 reference was HILARIOUS!!!🤣🤣🤣
The dinner in the center of the room literally made me laugh out loud.
I do not shoot weddings but nice tips and recommendations. Very well done in situation. Appreciate a lot. Great shoots. Thanks 🙏
Super informative video.. So glad I found it. I have a LOT to learn about off camera flash usage with weddings. This really helped a ton.
"usually the hair and makeup person have them look at the good light" w00t 👀? I haven't been on a lot of weddings but it sounds very next level if you have the hair and makeup person coaching you into fabulous light! I guess it makes your job a little bit easier.

Love the Blade Runner reference! Love that movie!
Wow. This video has so much useful info, explanations and BTS . It is simple and fun, and definitely helps me alot.
A lot of work to your videos man ! Thank you for sharring info...

Also, Taylor do not trust the little plastic foot. I've had two break and send my v1's falling. Since then, I've grabbed three s2 brackets.
That's sad to hear! I haven't had problems yet, but probably makes sense to get something a bit better since I use it all the time.
I loved this video. I watched the whole thing
Thanks again for all your helpful info in your videos. I have 2 questions in regards to flash.

Thanks for the vid man. I'm heading off to shoot a wedding at an old prison now. Should be fun working out the lighting! 😄
Great info! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome BTS
Great techniques 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
44:34… the pictures are lovely! You using 85mm or 70-200? 😊
Possibly a dumb question but I have rewatched portions of this to better understand and still don't. What is the purpose of your pocket wizard? It's not mentioned when talking about your equipment in the beginning, but it's used mid video. Help? Sorry! And thanks in advance!! Happy shooting everyone!
V1 works as a trigger too ☺️
Before I watch... I picked up a Godox V1 on Wednesday and used it the same night at an event (on TTL because I do be scared tho 😂) entire venue was painted black besides one white wall with black cursive words on it. It worked so well!
What kind of cactus is that do you have on the table? Looks so cute

"don't put flash below eye height" *puts flash below eye height*
I love your videos. It would be nice to get some more insight as to where the flash was placed. It was clear in some locations, but not so much in others.
Amazing!
I think this is the best example video for any want to be wedding photographer.

Hey. Can you say if it's necessary to have flashes with HSS or can you work with ordinary ones? Do you often use the HSS function? Thank you.
If you want to get creative in daylight it's important, but at a regular wedding day I'm always fine. I usually have to be at like 1/100th of a second or so to minimize light flicker anyways
Thank you so much Taylor. For me this was incredibly insightful and has given me the knowledge / confidence to improve what I deliver to my customers. Best wishes. PS; May you continue to have the greatest of Pizza dreams.
I have 2V ones and I have a problem with the recycle time. I see that you do too because on your outdoor shoot your flash was flashing every fourth or fifth time
Shutter speed in our video doesn’t show the actual strobe in every single fire sadly. But I think it is firing in almost every case
Thx!
After watching this, I'm getting the V1. You produced some great results with it. What was your main focal length lens?
So very helpful. Doing my first real paying wedding tomorrow. Church is dark, low ceiling. Reception venue is barn- type, wood everywhere and no white walls. Dim lighting. Fingers crossed.
I’m going to try the bounce-only approach for OCF for my next wedding. I’ve only done one (last weekend in Paris), and made the mistake of lugging modifiers, half of which I didn’t use because of the time and hassle to set it up without an assistant.

Great and helpful video, thank you so much!
i learned a lot!!
Great video ! Thank you for taking the time to make your videos. I'm shooting a wedding scheduled for noon outside. I'm concerned about black eye syndrome if it is a sunny day. I'm thinking large reflectors for fill and an OCF with a large umbrella. Thoughts?
Thanks,
Patrick Lynch
So much value in just the first two minutes of the video!! Thank you!
I am beginner in photography.
I bought a used Sony A7s2.
New 24-70 2.8 lens.
How much power flash would be enough to shoot outdoors? I would be doing street photography and portraits.
I would want to take this flash with me easily and during travelling.
Should I go for on camera flash or off camera flash
This would be 1st flash that I would buy.
What are your suggestions for flash?
Also suggest soft box and tripod (either camera or flash would be tripod as I can hold only 1 thing) for travelling.
So very informative! Thank you. I do wonder how you get an empty reception hall to shoot, where i live, the guests are typically in the halls by the time the bridal party arrives there.
Awesome content. I always use your videos as a refresher, before going into any wedding. You said there is a Controller simpler than the X2T-c?
Great video and you really put yourself under the pump to make this one!
And that takes a lot of courage........
A huge amount of good information on how to shoot a wedding under challenging circumstances.
I was amazed at how much could be achieved with just basic bounce flash and trigger!
Subscribed....
what a great video! answered a ton of questions i had! Came to watch for a few minutes, ended up watching all the way through 😂 The room with the view got me! lol
Thank you Taylor for putting this together. I enjoyed it. Im thinking of upgrading and leveling up my lighting technique. You explained everything so nicely.
Hi! Can I use an SB-700 as a second flash?
Do you put sandbags on the flash stands, since they are light? Or is that just too much to worry about?
I personally don’t, but it would be a good practice if you’re in a high traffic area or at a wedding with a lot of kids.
Muchas gracias.
Hi, great video, very inspiring. QI have a quick question. What was the gadget you wrapped around your off-flash on a stand. If it was the transmitter, then what was attached to the camera 📷? 😊 Thanks.
Awesome Video, I enjoyed it along with your commentary. You're an Awesome Skilled, Talented Pro that knows light, your Gear, and the talent, skills to use at it maximum potential. Thank You for sharing your amazing work.
Grest content .What do you do if the seilling is far away and the wall are darker colours?
1 minute in to the video and already I can tell that this is gonna be different from what we do here in Sweden. I have never heard of anyone using a flash during the actual ceremony. We often tend to marry at a church so any type of extra lights are frowned upon. This creates all kinds of problems of course since its daylight mixed with LED's and old incandescent bulbs...yeah...it's nightmare!
Great Vid....what I love about this video is that you have introduced a style ...not a technique, so leaving it up to us the get creative. Brilliant!
What an amazing video! I really enjoyed it and your bounce flash resulted in great results. Thank you.
Hi taylor, how much zoom would you go on the flash? About 50-70mm?
Great video some great tips in there I’ve not shot a wedding in years and I’ve got a friends sisters wedding coming up which is a good low stress shoot as they wasn’t going to bother having a photographer do that takes the pressure off me and I can just experiment with the gear and a lot of trial and error see what works and what doesn’t one thing that did prick my ears up was the location where was all wood and no good for bouncing the flash makes me feel like just putting a small softbox on there will resolve that issue without being too intrusive!!
How do you cull with so many almost duplicate shots? I can never narrow them down!
Use Aftershoot
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto I use aftershoot but not good at it yet. Do you have it select the best 1 or top 25%?
Did you have a neutral density filter on the lens and if yes, what grade was it? -3,-4, -5?
Thank you Sir....i learnt alot about lighting from this video 👏
hahahahah cheater! that balcony shot was a while ago. ;) JK of course. Fits perfectly in this.
I love v1 but i need v860iii bcouse i have magmod set my if i get some the gary fong my i can buy
Hi, Taylor. Thanks for the great video. Qq, can the GODOX X2T-C TTL or the GODOX X2T- work with EOS R6? I see that you are using an EOS R which I guess it's fully compatible with all Canon mirrorless, is that correct? Thanks
do you use eTTl + HSS, does it work?
Pink elephant in the room😂
Your lens... ?
Hi, thank you for your videos. Now I own 2 godox tt865 but I have to recharge many batteries for one wedding. I wouild like to know how long your godox flashs lasts. I wil buy V1 and ad200 pro. Thank you for your future feedback. have a nice day. Greetings from italy.

As a Goodland expert in Godox flashes, Howard good can a V1 be used along With an AD100 Pro in a multiflash Setup ?
Great great video, LOVE It! Looks like you are on D850. Does this mean you choosed not to use Z6II anymore after trying for a time, at least for weddings? Maybe due to AF not so easy tonuse or reliable?
Masterclass. Saved. Thank you. ❤

I recently started using a Canon R5, along with a Flashpoint XPLOR 400 Pro & R2 Pro MarkII.
.
I've updated ALL the firmware in every device in the chain, but for some reason I still keep getting misfires every 2nd or 4th shot (or not flash at all).
.
I've also scanned for the best frequencies on the trigger, switched to also using the "ID", use Mechanical Shutter (below the Sync Speed), and I stick to "One Shot" Focus mode & single point focus.

I'm looking forward to get the V1, not sure yet about ad100 pro how it will fit my current kit, but looks really nice. Thanks for the video!
Great video as always. What’s that Nikon lens you’re using at around 13 mins? Thank you for your help.
Love your videos mate ! Is this the only flash you use or are you reviewing it for Godox ? How long have you used it for ? Appreciate the content !
I bought Nikon sb700 before knowing about godox v1. Then I tried getting a godox x2t to control my sb700 flash in off camera, but unfortunately it doesn't work.
Is that the reason why u use pocket wizard to control off camera flash? Can it be control by godox x2t instead for Nikon flash?
I have it in my contracts that I must eat with everyone else. I did a wedding and they put me in a room with a cold ‘sandwich’ and ziplock chips. I got home and change my contract
In this video you mentioned that you can set the x2 to have different groups so that if they are at the table you can use group A and if they are on the dance floor you can use group b. How do you set that up? I have 2 lights and I set one to group A and one to group B but they both go off at the same time. Also, in your weddings you are using the Pro as apposed to the X2. Is there a huge difference?
Thanks for this really informative video on off-camera light. This really helped me decide on what to focus on getting.
Thank you soooooo much for this! I have my first wedding next month and needed more portable lighting than my Einstein. Bought two v1s today 👌🏻👌🏻
How did your first wedding shoot go?
@@rumporridge1 as good as I could’ve hoped. Definitely the v1s and have used them a lot since
@@FastPawz on your path sis. Will look to add the V1s to my Godox lineuo. God bless and wish the best success. Thanks for the quick reply too.
This was the most understandable explanation of the Godox system. Thank you so so much!!
One thing to note about Godox and the way they function with Nikon at least: If you use the Godox XPro trigger branded for Nikon on a Nikon, you'll get a warmer color tone than there actually is. If you use the Sony or Canon branded trigger, or stack your Nikon trigger onto a "dumb" trigger, the colors will be accurate. You lose your TTL, and need to shoot manual. Something to be aware of that will effect your post processing.
